Surely you can bypass the application with Toad, as you can with sql*plus. This can be dangerous, because you can do *anything*. However:
You can only destroy it's integrity when there is no integrity in the
database (by means of primary and foreign key constraints) in the
first place.
Which is the default for almost all commercially developed sw
packages, and which is also the default for applications developed by
middle-tier believers.
