I am not an expert, but if I had written an app that was designed like that, the app would have a /debug url that let me log in[0] and then do all kinds of fun things[1], including running raw SQL from the app's context.

[0] And I would be very careful about the security angle, because this is effectively a very dangerous back door into the whole system. Useful, but something to be careful about.

[1] Dump live activity stats, performance info, ability to run arbitrary queries against any database(s), ability to run arbitrary code in the app itself if available in a reasonable way (ex. if the app is in a dynamic language, just an eval(), possibly embed tcl/lua if not).
