I know you pronounce it ES-KYU-EL because you used "an"
- KerryJones 6y agoYep, it through me off, I saw it somewhere years ago that the pronunciations were: SQL = SEE-KWUHL MySQL = MY-ES-KYU-EL And it's now engrained in my mind and this title through me off ;)
- jessikat 6y ago"SEE-KWUHL" is actually the pronunciation for MS SQL Server. "ES-KYU-EL" is for all other uses of SQL.
- adolph 6y agoWhen SQL was established in the early 70s, it was called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language). However, due to a copyright issue, it was changed it to SQL. In fact, SQL is typically pronounced “sequel” today, but some favor the non-acronym pronunciation of “ess-cue-el” (in case you didn’t know, an acronym is an abbreviation you can pronounce like a word, e.g. SQL or ANSI).
