    Surprisingly, no… You can update the original record, but, you can’t guarantee that any subsequent records/documents/warrants/etc., will be found and also changed. If you simply giver her a new license plate, that connection more or less goes away.

    e: If I were this person, I’d have gone and reported my plates as damaged and got new ones right away…

        In the decades of experience I have with SQL, it is still unable to edit printed documents.

        But also, it’s not one database, it’s thousands. Between missing/expired credentials, untested webhooks, changing data formats that the receiving end hasn’t made the required updates for, and more… On top, some only get new records, not updates. Some are updated by hand even.

          Thank you for explaining this. I’m obviously not technically inclined, so I really appreciate it, and will try to reread it tomorrow so it hopefully clicks for me.
