SQL database

The app's production database is reachable directly as SQL. query runs a single statement verbatim against the live release's database and returns its rows. It is not limited to reads: INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE run too, which makes it the operator's escape hatch for a hand-fix or a one-off backfill the typed methods do not expose. SQL passes through untouched, so a statement can even open with a comment, and errors come back as a structured code rather than a thrown exception.

tables lists what exists to query, straight from the live schema. Between the two, the whole database is inspectable and editable from the command line or a script, without a migration or a deploy in the loop. This is deliberately the raw layer beneath the typed database API the app itself uses.
