IBM’s first database was not relational. Its second database, DB2, was a sequel to its first database, and so they wanted to call its query language SEQUEL[1] but they were unable to copyright the name.

“I wear black for the poor and the beaten down
Living in the hopeless, hungry side of town

His mother wanted to name him John and his daddy wanted Ray so at birth they named him J. R. Cash.
