Lite
- cm2187 4y agoI actually googled to check the rules, I didn’t think of the first alternative.
- dinkleberg 4y agoThe title actually surprised me because of that. I would’ve assumed the SQLite team would pronounce it sequelite since es kew el ite is pretty awkward to say. But the grammar would suggest they do say it by pronouncing each letter of the acronym separately.
- Zababa 4y agoI thought it was pronounced "es kew lite", S Q Lite instead of S Q L ite.
- boopmaster 4y agoI definitely prefer the pronunciation that sounds like a sugar-free beverage additive. "This Java tastes like Rust, would you parse me sum see'kwel-ite?"
- srcreigh 4y agoEither way, the name SQLite is not SQL-lite but SQL-ite (think graphite). SQLite is an element of SQLey stuff. Source: https://youtu.be/Jib2AmRb_rk https://youtu.be/Jib2AmRb_rk I'd link the exact timestamp, but then you might watch less than the entire talk, which would be unfortunate.
- teddyh 4y agoFor reference: The person in the video pronounces it Ess-Kew-Ell-Ait.
- teddyh 4y agoAn Ess-Kew-Lite.
- orthecreedence 4y agoI've pronounced SQL "Es Kew El" for the entirety I've used it and have gotten flak for it before. This "an" makes me feel vindicated.
