Remember in The Matrix Revolution when Smith ended up hijacking everybody in the Matrix?
She was referring to the database as a whole, which is true - Somewhere in there all that is kept. Doesn't mean that just because the hackers didn't find it they don't have access to it, or that they're not in there, it just means they are constrained to the portion of the database they're aware. The structure of the maple specific database was made public in the BMS leaks. Getting data out of there "blind" is easy, because we already know what it contains. Not knowing what else is in there, and not knowing the names of the subdatabases, or not having access to an account that can access those subdatabases, could all be limiting factors protecting that area.
So yes, her statement was a mixed truth. She's not a DBA. She made some assumptions that aren't reflective of probable reality.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
