Nature and Nature’s data lay hid in night;
God said “Let Codd be. Let SQL be.” And all was light.
 
The data was a friend and a relation;
Select, join, project brought joy and insight.
 
It could not last; the Devil shouting, “Ho,
Let NoSQL be!” Scale and No more SQL.
 
Let tricks be. Get ‘n set, map ‘n reduce,
Join yourself. Count, sum & group by is DIY.
 
God said, “Let N1QL be. SQL for all data & scale be.”.
Nature was all light. Again.
 
 

— In the spirit of Alexander Pope and Sir John Squire.
