  I did not realize MySQL was also named after one of his kids.

    Yeah, "My" is actually pronounced wrong by 99% of all MySQL users.
    • leetrout 2y ago
      Sure, but > The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way. https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/what-is-mysql.html https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/what-is-mysql.html

      The SQL part as well, it should be pronounced "squeal".

      What's the correct way to pronounce it?
      • nemoniac 2y ago
        Roughly rhymes with the "vu" in "Déjà vu"

  He already has Max. MaxDB sounds like good name tbh.
  • herbstein 2y ago
    MaxDB is already developed by SAP, weirdly enough, No relation tho https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaxDB https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaxDB

      There is actually a relation, it used to be called SAP DB and MySQL AB renamed it to MaxDB.
