[dba-Tech] pronounciation

[Jim Lawrence]

My thoughts on it is that sequel describes the language and SQL describes the applications that apply sequel.

I occasionally slip up and say Sequel and the young heads all go ... "huh??"

SQL is a tad trickier, since most of the commercial world takes after the original IBM pronunciation, derived from Sequel, or Structured Query Language. But Monty (of MySQL fame) decided to change the pronunciation to My-SQL, and this pronunciation has acquired significant credence in the world, especially the internet world.
