Is there an OEIS-like database for doubly indexed sequences? I feel like such a database would be extremely useful for mathematicians, and would be surprised if there wasn't one, but I can't seem to find it.

I have encountered several double indexed sequences within the OEIS. They are given in triangular / diagonal enumeration (search "diagonal").
(Why this works: $\mbox{card}(\mathbb{N}^n) = \mbox{card}(\mathbb{N})$, see Pairing Function)
It is mentioned in the hints section as well (link hints).
And there is a section in the demos (link demos).
Some of these series have a web link as special keyword in their ${\rm \small K{\tiny EYWORD}}$ section: tabl from A055830
Which gives renderings of the sequence as several kind of arrays.
1 1 0 2 1 0 3 3 1 0 5 7 4 1 0 8 15 12 5 1 0 13 30 31 18 6 1 0
As stated in the hints section you can search for them by entering diagonals, rows or columns.
In cases where a doubly indexed "sequence" is needed to be stored, it is stored by antidiagonals in OEIS: from top right to bottom left.
E.g. http://oeis.org/A061554 is an asymmetric example which highlights how it is stored.
