This is a design issue.  If you allow outside access, then you need RI.  If
you limit access to servers, then you don't, because your servers are your
RI providers.  And this is very easy to accomplish by securing access to the
files to only the server programs.  However, many people insist that their
users "need" unfettered database access, which is why I'd love to see a tool
that builds the servers automatically and makes it as easy to add queries as
it is to write new SQL access.
