S-Q-L or Sequel? A bit of trivia for the weekend...

This has been a debate for as long as i've known.

How to pronounce SQL?  ess-cue-el or sequel?

Each one has it's own supporters. But only one is correct.

And the winner is (drum-roll here):

 

S-Q-L (ess-cue-el)

Read more about SQL Pronounciation history here.

 

P.S.

Most people don't care. That's why it's trivia. :))

SQL might be pronounced as S-Q-L, but SQL Server is pronounced Sequel Server. That's coming directly from Microsoft on their product.
