That is kind of funny to me because where I live the S-Q-L vs sequel divide is more along the linux/microsoft divide.
Meaning if you encounter someone here that pronounces SQL as sequel you probably found a DotNet developer or at least someone that primarily focuses on Microsoft technologies.
S-Q-L is used by pretty much everyone else here.
- arp242 5y agoI have only ever heard it pronounced as "S-Q-L". When I had a customer on the phone going on about their "sequel" years ago I genuinely had no idea what they were on about, only only when they said (after a few minutes) "Microsoft sequel" did it finally click it was SQL. I mostly have a background in Linux/Unix-y stuff, and I've hardly ever heard someone say "sequel" since, so this seems about right. Not that I care either way, pronounce things however you like, but it sure can be confusing!
