Yes, but the question is why the hell do you have access to a production database in the first place?!
And if so, how is it on the same machine you can run Claude code on?!
I've worked at places where senior devs have access to prod for emergency fixes but usually the procedure is to use a VPN AND an ssh key with a passphrase. Usually.
Startups and small companies where there simply aren’t enough resources to set up proper operational controls

I've worked at several places where I've been able to access production databases.
