Oh that's not it... He's thinking about doing complicated database work,
not just pushing buttons and making stuff go into databases. Things like
SELECT * from LEFT JOIN users, administrators where ID='';DROP TABLE
administrators; -- 10T' order by name;

It was hard enough to type that gobblygook in on a real keyboard, let

an emulated one on a tablet.

My point is that it's just a character string. It could be returned to
a phone as a jpg file or as an Excel-like spreadsheet for instance.

It would be useless to a phone.
I use cygwin (*nix) like interface on windows so I can get my data in a
format that's useable. Having Xterm window is very important, I can get
