- greggyb 11y agoWho's that? ANSI or ISO or someone else? I skimmed the Wikipedia article and didn't notice any mention of removing the initialism. I did find a note that the original language standard did define the "es queue el" pronunciation, but since no one is standards compliant anyway, I think I'll still stick with "sequel" (:
- lkbm 11y agoI actually can't find a source. My professor told me back in the day, and that's all I have. The talk page on Wikipedia has a lot of discussion, including a citation of a book, but I don't have the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ASQL#SQL_Acronym https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ASQL#SQL_Acronym Someone there also keeps saying that the second reference on the article explicitly says it's not an acronym, but the current second source explicitly says it is, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
