If you attempt to connect to a database the database will greet you. It can be configured to ask for a login. It can be configured to have no login. If it doesn't have a login and gives you a welcome prompt it's not called hacking. In order to hack something it needed to be secured to start with.
Databases do greet users in mostly english. Need help? Type help. On the list of things the system allows deleting data appeared to be one.
If you knock on a door and the door opens and says welcome what do you want to do (delete data, read data) and you pick delete it doesn't mean it's illegal vandalism.

I very strongly disagree with this. Can you cite somewhere that unauthorized database access is not hacking if there is no password? To me and I think the law that is definitely illegal and hacking.

Yes it does! If you don’t have authorized access then that database isn’t yours and entering it is illegal.
