Yes, that drove me bonkers for a year or two, too, but I've got used to it over time.

i call it sequel just to make people mad at me.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I'm actually a bit inconsistent on it, I'll generally say:
SQL
T-SQL
SEQUEL SERVER

I used to work next door to the microsoft SQL team devs and how they pronounced it varied.
I figure if they don't care enough to get after each other about it, neither should I. Still, I wonder how the former sybase folks feel about it.

That's why I like to pronounce SQL as "squeal".
Just sayin'.

Those use SEQUEL probably old or learned from old...
As today I do not meet anyone using that form anymore...

Weird, all the tech folks that I know call it SEQUEL.

1) Sequels usually suck.
2) SQL reminds me more of 'squeal' than of 'sequel'.
3) Mickeysoft often makes me feel like squealing.
So let's more adequately call it a squeal server and give it our squeal of approval.

That would just sow confusion, because we already use SQUIL :/

I always call it squeal. It seems far more appropriate to me.

I worked with a guy who pronounced it like "Ess Quell". My brain twitched every time I heard him say it.

You're right ... I'm old (84) and have been saying SEQUEL for many years. "SEQUEL SERVER" flows from the tongue a lot smoother than "S-Q-L Server".

met any of the "see hash" or "see hex" mob yet?
heck even had a "see hex symbol" (together with some demented finger waggling) once.
thus far luckily never met a "see hashtag" or "see pound" looser yet, but gonna bet they do exist.

Is it not a nice little play on words: SQL ("SEQUEL") = Seek Well?
