Not even remotely practical.

If you're interested in the factors that medieval swordsmiths used in their designs and manufacture, check out Ewartt Oakeshott's typology of swords. It goes into great detail (sometimes really dry though) examining what made each type of sword unique and what the purposes of their designs were within their historical context.

Oakeshott's book would be a great option, and there's a decent amount of good information on myArmoury and while the Oakeshott Institute's website doesn't get a lot of traffic, there's some decent articles there from what I remember.
There's plenty more out there, but some of that would depend on antique vs. repro/location/period etc. for more detailed info. Also depends on what info you're wanting (physical properties? time period used? geographical usage?)
The links provided are good, if you can I suggest you order in a book by Oakshott, The Archaeology of Weapons: Arms and Armour from Prehistory to the Age of Chivalry. This book will give a pretty broad understanding of swords, I've been working my way through it at a somewhat leisurely pace (so as to absorb the info better).
