I'm slightly confused too. They say that the web is a database, but it looks like we're SQL querying their database of the web.
I'm also interested in how often they rescrape their pages, and if they have rate-limit bypassing tech (for the Amazon scrapers).
So far, I think they're calling the Web a database because you can use SQL to query their database — which makes me feel like they're missing the point.
But they've done such hard work and they look like they're really excited about it — but I just don't understand why
