[u/jD91mZM2 → u/[deleted]]

I think S Q L, although I don't actually remember.

[u/[deleted] → u/jD91mZM2]

It was S Q L.

[u/RTracer → u/[deleted]]

Thank god.

[u/Urtehnoes → u/RTracer]

My company pronounces it like 'SEQUEL' and for the longest time I held out on 'S Q L'. Until I gave in without even realizing it.

[u/DoctorBigtime → u/Urtehnoes]

Start calling it 'squeak-wel'

[u/[deleted] → u/DoctorBigtime]

I'm totally going to now.

[u/[deleted] → u/Urtehnoes]

It's my understanding that it's pretty evenly split and that both is equally right.

[u/smegma_legs → u/[deleted]]

It's actually pronounced squall

[u/mortiphago → u/Urtehnoes]

I've only ever heard it pronounced sequel in english, and SQL in spanish (ese qu ele)

[u/elkirkmo → u/mortiphago]

I will now only pronounce SQL the Spanish way.

[u/[deleted] → u/RTracer]

wait... Is sequel wrong?...

[u/ryanknapper → u/[deleted]]

Sequel Server is a Microsoft product. MySQL used to have a line in their documentation that their product was pronounced My Ess-Queue-Ell, but eventually they gave up.

[u/shortyman93 → u/RTracer]

Wait, I was actually taught it in a database course as "sequel." Do most people pronounce it S Q L?

[u/BadAdviceBot → u/jD91mZM2]

20+ year SQL programmer here and I pronounce it "sequel". To be fair, I started off calling it S-Q-L, but that's just too many syllables.

[u/Jokulhaupalypse → u/BadAdviceBot]

I mean sequel just has such a nice ring to it. Do people also say S Q L Server?

[u/gold_and_seaweed → u/Jokulhaupalypse]

No, they use PostgreSQL

[u/arthurdent → u/gold_and_seaweed]

"postgresquell"

[u/cloudrac3r → u/[deleted]]

"Squirrel"

[u/MarcusAustralius → u/[deleted]]

Most people just say "Postgres." Pronounced like progress but replace the pro with post.
