Ok, that's understod. Anyhow, the general problem which is linked to
unfiltered DB access is the simple fact that it would make the DB
vulnerable. The web frontend is a measure to defend us against jerks
trying to suck the entire DB content over HTTP ....
I have to admit that I don't have an 'easy' solution handy right now.

Which information precisely are you looking for ?

No preprocessor, the DB credentials are stored in a file which is
included via an "auto_prepend_file" PHP directive in Apache.

"sphere" is the nickname of a machine running the web-frontends for the
FlightGear Scenemodels and MapServer web sites. The database itself
resides on a separate, quite powerful machine. Every content, being it
models of thumbnail images are stored as BASE64-encoded content in the
DB.

Yep, the play server is the public web site :-)
