Fair enough.

> If an ecommerce site depended entirely on looking through their catalog with SQL commands, I'd imagine most of the HN community would be able to navigate it (although possibly unhappy with it).

I would love it, and I would switch to that site immediately.

Every time I have to shop for something on-line these days I'm thinking about making a scrapper populating an SQLite database with that site's catalog, because e-commerce UX is insanely bad, and even a simple SQL database browser would be an order of magnitude of improvement.
