I'm surprised that a company would allow direct access to a database -
this would presumably involve giving you a password? Maybe they have a
read-only login?
I just once worked with a company that allowed me access to their
database but it was stoutly secured with 'instead of' triggers that
called well tested SPs. When I wanted it to work outside the box (e.g.
update my external data) I had to write my own SP and have it vetted by
their sysprogs.
btw I have had *very* mixed results with OCR - particularly of scanned
documents.

I have asked several tech support individuals if there is a licensing
issue with my accessing the data through the "back door" - using direct
access to the SQL server. The responses I have received indicated no
prohibition but no attempt on their part to support any questions or
problems that result from this approach.
I'm not surprised that no support would be forthcoming if you screwed up
the database by accessing it from the side - that's pretty standard. A
lot of companies offer access to an API and support on that for an
additional fee - these presumably don't as it sounds more like a
consumer product.
