I've also heard a bunch of people saying "ess-cue-ell" rather than "sequel" (in English). Probably as many as I've heard saying "sequel". I don't think neither

I've also heard a bunch of people saying "ess-cue-ell" rather than "sequel" (in English). Probably as many as I've heard saying "sequel". I don't think neither is "universal". Personally I switch between them depending on my current mood.

Yeah - it is complicated. I had never heard "sequel" till I started my first day job in the late 90's. But I swear the closer people are to databases management, the more I hear "sequel". SQL being spelled out is seemingly more people new to databases or used interchangeably like everyone has identified. I do say it either way, but I would always say "Sequel Server" for example. I guess when I say "universal", I never hear someone say "what is that?" I mean - most programmers understand the term. I favour it as it seems easier to say.
