In my organization we stay away from accessing tables directly, so instead we use views. For instance, if we want to create a database based on data from a table/tables in another database, we are not supposed to access the table directly. Typically we will create a view in the database that accesses data from another database through its views. So we will end up with a new database that does not have any tables but only views. The policy we have to access data from a table through views will stay but creating a database based on data from another database through views will need to be changed.
