As [described earlier (here)](https://nextjs-forum.com/post/1190246905729523722#message-1190246905729523722), there are many cases where one's tempted to use database queries in middleware.

But querying the database in middleware seems not recommended.
What's the alternative to querying the database in middleware if I need certain data, based on the dynamic segments of the current path?
So that I can eventually rewrite the path.
