Warning against working directly with MCMS 2002 database

Stefan Goßner explains in a blog post why working directly with the MCMS 2002 database isn't a good idea and urges developers to seek help.

I don’t know why it seems this has hit the blogsphere more frequently lately, but yet again, someone else has written an article that involves working directly with the MCMS 2002 database. Stefan Goßner has explained why this isn’t a good idea, and how he doesn’t want to be the bad guy to be the messenger, but yet again had to say it today as well.

Please, we are more than happy to help with MCMS planning/development/design questions, but if you’re touching the MCMS database, we can’t help you. The PAPI does just about everything you need (with the exception of working with security roles & users)… just stay with it.
