SQL or Sequal?

So I post this question to you all since I grew up being told it is S-Q-L Server and the professors getting upset at hearing Sequal Server or just plain Sequal. Then I get this job here and the younger web developer says it is Sequal, not S-Q-L. I stand by my teaching and still say S-Q-L. You?

I prefer "Sequel", not "Sequal" :) Actually, I'll use either, depending on what kind of mood I'm in. Maybe we should apply this to other acronyms... WahPoof = A GUI framework made to replace WinForms Gipple = An open source license

If I get stuck I call it "squeal" :laugh: when I first started SQL I'd call it "Squally" or "Squrrial" much to my Prof's amusement.

If you are referring to the language the official pronunciation is Sequel[^] if you are referring to the Microsoft Product the pronunciation is S.Q.L. Server to aid in the disambiguation. Whereas a Sequel Server would be any ANSI-SQL database. While I do not have an official reference, reading the Wiki on SQL suggests that SEQUEL is a trademarked name. Thus M.S. would not be able to use Sequel in advertising. Industry best-practice, however, is to fully qualify the product since there is so much confusion with regards to the myriad numbers of SQL based products. Remember, Microsoft isn't the big player in this field (17% market-share vs. Oracle 49%)

For me personally it depends on the mood and the person that I'm talking to.

I call it Sally because I'll never fully understand it and aggravates the crap out of me at times.

I know some people who say S-Q-L when they refer to the query language and "Sequel Server" when talking about the Microsoft SQL Server engine.

20 years ago I would have said S-Q-L, now I just say Sequal. Your profs are anal twats: it's just a word.

I'm the opposite - I've always said SQL it's only uni profs who I can remember saying sequal.

Exactly. These days I just go with the variation of any word that requires the fewest syllables. Especially after having written this message--I will break even in about 58 uses of the word.
