\nGod said \u201cLet Codd be. Let SQL be.\u201d And all was light.<\/p>\n

The data was a friend and a relation;
\nSelect, join, project brought joy and insight.<\/p>\n

It could not last; the Devil shouting, \u201cHo,
\nLet NoSQL be!\u201d Scale and No more SQL.<\/p>\n

Let tricks be. Get \u2018n set, map \u2018n reduce,
\nJoin yourself. Count, sum & group by is DIY.<\/p>\n

God said, \u201cLet N1QL be. SQL for all data & scale be.\u201d.
\nNature was all light. Again.
