"Direct database access" is the opposite of "Access to the database through some middleware client application". Yes, direct database access means ability to execute queries, whereas middleware emasculates relational access to the server. There is some similarity between people who are scared of direct access to the database and people who are afraid of nuclear power. Their exaggerated feeling of danger is based upon ignorance.
