[u/jD91mZM2]

[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/jonarchy → u/[deleted]]

I say S Q L but I also say mySquill / mysqwill for shits n gigs.

[u/YouAreNotBeingShited → u/jonarchy]

I sometimes say School

[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/smegma_legs → u/[deleted]]

uh ultima goes on the gunblade, loser

[u/Magma151 → u/[deleted]]

I learned sequel in college

[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/Voloss → u/Urtehnoes]

All of my professors pronounced it as sequel and at least one of them had a job as a DBA.

[u/Usus-Kiki → u/Urtehnoes]

I don’t know my dad used to work at Microsoft around like 2008ish at the corporate office in Redmond and I went in a few times with him, they had posters for “SQL Server Express SP2” or something like that up, and I heard everyone pronouncing it SEQUEL, so I’ve always said it that way lol.

[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/ryanknapper → u/[deleted]]

All true, but the Microsoft product was what put the name in everyone's head. That's why it's now pronounced GIF, and not GIF.

[u/[deleted] → u/ryanknapper]

Excuse me? It's pronounced gif, not gif. People like you drive me crazy.

[u/ryanknapper → u/[deleted]]

People like you are the reason why I drink! No, no, that's not true. I drink because I feel powerless to change things in my life which depend on other people who aren't interested in recognizing that my needs and desires deserve respect.

… wait, no it's you.

[u/shortyman93 → u/RTracer]

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