Hmmm..how do you create reports without access to the database? As far as RDS access goes, it's just HTTP over port 80, so firewall stuff shouldn't be a concern (don't know if that is for you or not).
In CF8 you'll have RDS Sanboxing (limit DSN and file access to a sandbos per user/group) and per-user Admin access, so this can be properly locked down, while using the Query Builder portion of Report Builder. Having said all that...you can aboslutely run CF Report Builder and create reports without RDS access...you just don't use the Query Builder. Just tell the end user the schema of the query(ies) you're going to feed the report at runtime, and you're good to go. RDS-free.
