SQL or Sequal?
-
I see quail.

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've heard both quite a bit but sequel predominates. Even in bastardizations of SQL like SOQL they themselves (Salesforce) pronounce it like SO-QUELL. I vote for sea-quell. What gets me though is this guy at work who insists on pronouncing VARCHAR like VAR-KAR and is bugged if others don't pronounce it his way. Everyone else I know calls it VAR-CHAR as in charbroiled. He looses my respect on a daily basis.

To each his own. I say vair-care, vair like in VARiable, care like in CHARacter. I bet you say var like in varnish. A lot of people say it that way. It is a little incomprehensible to my why one would slaughter the sound by taking the characters out of the context from where they come from and use them like they would be pronounced without any context. Wait, that sounds like I am taking the "guy who bugs you"'s side. Well, I am, but also: To each his own. (Just because he's right and you're wrong is no reason to not get along.)

In my junior college SQL class, the professor said that it is pronounced "sequal". But, the prof was from the industry.

SQL (officially pronounced /ˌɛskjuːˈɛl/ like "S-Q-L" but often pronounced /ˈsiːkwəl/ like "sequel"), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL[^] History SQL was developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce in the early 1970s. This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasi-relational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San Jose Research Laboratory had developed during the 1970s.[6] The acronym SEQUEL was later changed to SQL because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley aircraft company.[7]

Everyone around here says Sequal.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

It's true, I never say S-Q-L.
