The standard example would be when you have a third-party application,
and you are supposed to write some home-brewed queries for reports. In
this situation you don't start redesigning the data model, how flawed it
may be.

Although, my guess is that Wolfgang tried to say even if you have a good
data model, that alone does evade the needs for modularizing your code.
