True, but in a worse world this data wouldn't even be in a database at
all - you might be trying to check synchronization between the latest
results of a sociology experiment and the historical values somebody
posts on their web page.
I haven't used prolog much myself, but I agree that it's very nice to
write something descriptively rather than algorithmically whenever
possible.
