Oracle Apps - Not quite as sure about it, but I believe its origins
predate the use of referential integrity in the database.
I can confirm that; first apps development was in 1987-8 on Oracle 5.1 moving
later to 6. No FKs even in the dictionary - and anyway configurable code
combinations and flexfields (and the whole Application Foundation doodah) tend
to push the work off the server into the application (even now). I've posted
more here:

if anyone is interested in industrial archeology on the subject.
