Do you need sql queries to the database on the hosting?

Question

RESTful API

Now, if I have a hosted site and I created a database there, do I need to create sql queries from the client, or can I access it directly through rest.api, for example?

Answer 1

No. In no case should the client directly query the database !!!
Only through the API.
Otherwise, your database will be deleted on the first day. Think for yourself - you will store the connection parameters to the database in the client. Simple reverse engineering - and anyone can use your base as their own!

Answer 2

you can access the database either directly from the client via SQL, or through a local laying (with which the client communicates via some kind of API over HTTP)
