Thanks Randy - I was really stretching to figure out what that was.

How can you compare SQL to SCUBA because
SCUBA = Scuba where
SQL <> Sequel
so what do you call BMW cars
and 9 a.m. is it 9 am and 9 p.m. 9 pome
Sorry I say Microsoft SQL Server
that is Microsoft Es-Queque-el Server
what about ODBC --- Odbuc? no Oh-De-Be-See
anyway this proves we all need a break.

Hey, got into this a bit late but what a great thread. Must admit I am the same as Jeremy Sequel Server and S Q L statments. I love using the name Sequel Server on newbies or 3rd party companies, confuses the hell out of them.
BTW Brian, love the name GEORGE, makes me nostalgic for the old days of ICL mainframes and the GEORGE II/III op systems.
Best I think is squirrel. Will definately try to use this now (will really confuse my work mates eh!)
p.s. Maybe could use squirrel as a synonym for DBA (at the first sign of trouble scarper).
Only joking folks! Honest.
Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

Obviously America is the king of the acronymn world. I seem to remember that one of the US Navy commander in chiefs has an acronymn for his title of USINCUS.
For all the non-US subscribers do we invent any acronymns or do we just inherrit American ones?

Best one I could think of at the time. But we dont say S-C-U-B-A because someone decided it was easier to make a word of it, just like someone decided to say SeQueL instead of SQL which if you were in a 4 hour discussion might make sense to use SeQueL to save syllables (especially if used a lot, and this is just a joke). However, SEQUEL started in the IBM early days and hung around so the reason may never be known (check out Websters, by the way S-Q-L is correct as far as Websters).

what a great thread indeed. One suggestion: If you use ANY acronymns, please provide a translation. Sometimes you can't find them in Babylon.

Life is short, too short too worry about the pronounciation of SQL.

Definitely too short to worry, but what is life without fun.
Maybe it because I'm from Germany, but I've been thinking on this
