How to pronounce SQL

Don't forget ES-Quel. Someone who attends should come up with a list of about 20 or 30 variations and use each speaking with Steve to see if he can keep up or even bothers.

In French, we pronounce "S Q L" (with French way to pronounce each character).
If we pronounce "Sequel" it's sound like "séquelle" that means "after-effects".

When relational databases first made it mainstream (about 20 years ago) it was pronounced S Q L. Sometime around the mid 90's the change to sequel emerged mostly from the younger generation entering the field. So, many old timers still say S Q L while the younger say sequel. Both are correct.

It might be interesing to consider the technical difference between an acronym and an abbreviation. An acronym is one that one pronounces as a word, such as SCUBA. An abbreviation is where one pronounces each letter, such as IBM. So, we are saying that SQL can be either an abbreviation or an acronym.

We could just start a movement to pronounce SQL as "George."
