I will continue to live in my make believe world for as long as I can.

Do you mean your daughter is the second to sing? The tall one? She has a beautiful voice.

Her voice reminded me of a Disney character. The one who sang Belle in Beauty and the Beast (?).

Bob,

Just remember this in the future when your daughter might have to do the same thing at her children’s events.

Most of the time I use Sequel. Depending on the situation and/or my mood, I will use ess que ell. I think using Sequel probably comes from someone I worked with when I first leaned what it is.

OK so for the next poll, I say we see who votes to have at LEAST a redirect from http://www.sequelservercentral.com to here. Who is with me??? :w00t: Just kidding.

There has been some good material here.... someone asked about Prequel, and then there was Microsoft Squeal.... couldn't find any classes on that though... very good stuff!~

I'm an Ess Cue Elle type of DBA. This is due to my Oracle DBA background prior to adding to my skill set as a SQLServer DBA. I don't care how a person says the word as long as we are tasking about the same thing.

I tend to say sequel simply because that's what I heard when I started, however I will use ess cue elle, too, depending on the circumstances.

(Great avatar. I love that character.)

Here's another vote for "squeal". Been working with a very difficult system lately.

And you know the SCSI interface? It had to have been designed by geeks and not marketing, otherwise we'd pronounce it "sexy", not "scuzzy".

I tend to say "sequel" when talking about the overall environment and SQL when talking about coding. Think I'm simply going to use squeal for both from now on! That'll definitely turn some heads in confusion - how come he got new software and we didn't???? :laugh:

I tend to say Sequel, unless I am in a group of folks who all say ess-que-ell. I like the sound of squeal though. It definately brings the sound of banjos to mind.

Regarding SCSI, I remember back in my highschool BBS days that a lot of the Apple users were trying to get us all to say "sexy" rather than "scuzzy". I only had a cassette drive on my CoCo 2, so it was all irrelevent to me.

I'm glad you used sequel for that address and not squeal... I fear that could bring the wrong sort of publicity?!? :hehe:

I just checked, squealservercentral.com is available. Steve?

Or maybe we should set up a parody site. We could use Brandy's pirate themes...

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?
