Robert, Thanks for your reply, you really nail it:

Please appreciate that, for a novice, the integration of database with model is so tight, it's hard to think about a Rails web app using a database without going through a model! So, I think that my data should be accessible by administrators, but what is the Rails mechanism for that access? Am I going to be issuing raw SQL commands?
