... WHERE has_privileges() = 1

has_privileges() can be a UDF which dows whatever you please. Looking at any credentials the DBMS provides. In DB2 that may be application ID which contains the IP. Of course has_privileges() can be modified without ever changing the view....
It seems functionaly the limit is what credentials one can get his/her hands on rather than which languae is used to implement the entry-point.

Cheers
Serge
