I mean, exactly, that’s why this is a bad idea. Adding a column is simple, having your DB be your API is madness. The more magic you add, the worse it gets.

- DrScientist 3y agoI think you are mixing two problems - having the part of the DB exposed, and whether people then build brittle stuff on top. My point is that if people build brittle stuff on top that's not a problem of the DB being accessible per se. That could just as easily happen against an API. I assume you had was some problem with ORM's and automatically built data structures etc - I would argue that's a problem with those, not with the DB.
