I assume it’s like snack, but with an initial sh sound.
And I don’t think software projects with inscrutable names are a new thing. I still have no idea how to pronounce “PostgreSQL”, for instance.
- LeoPanthera 9y agoI have always said Post-gres-Q-L which is probably wrong but it's too late to change now. I'm committed.
- nkkollaw 9y agoSame here.
- symfoniq 9y ago^ Correct.
- manigandham 9y agoThat is the right way to say it. It was originally just named Postgres, as in Post Ingres, because it evolved from the Ingres database project.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoI assume it’s like snack, but with an initial sh sound. It's German. I would bet it is more like shock, but with an N added. (I can't readily verify that. I am in a library and all searches for the pronunciation lead me to audio files and I can't listen to them.)
