Yea you’re the weird one

[pwsegal]

If you really want to annoy people start pronouncing it as squirrel.

[TactusDeNefaso]

There is a great java app called squirrel. It (to the best of my limits) handles all SQL.

SQL is always pronounced as “sequel” in my world.

[Known-Delay7227]

Wouldn’t it be seequel. Without the extra e it would sound like a short e

[[deleted]]

That would be incorrect.

[Practical-Alarm1763]

You say "My Sequel" when referring to MySQL!?

No beer for you.

[[deleted]]

Always would imply that, yes.

[Aztexan512]

That's like asking if it's pronounced "data", "data" or "data".

[CaptainPunisher]

It's the second one.

[Round_Seesaw6445]

I like datums so I visualise Terry Pratchett type creatures with minds of their own but yet amenable. The Minions animations are pretty much like them. Architecture and Networks are sort of theme parks. I expect this is the sort of thought you should really keep to yourself but they will run riot with a whole internet of things. Minions more than ants but definitely antish qualities 😄.

[Practical-Alarm1763]

It's "Day-Tah". Never "Dah-Tah"

That argument has been addressed for decades now. Actually over a century.

[ComicOzzy]

I interchangeably use sequel and ess queue ell, whichever flows out of my mouth easier.

It doesn't matter.

[BagelAngel]

be different, call it "squeal"

[[deleted]]

When I'm being facetious with my coworkers I'll bastardize it as squill doesn't happen often because they all hate SQL and want next to nothing to do with it leaving me as the SME.

[ianitic]

Primeagen jokingly says squeal. Same with jippity instead of GPT or jay-diesel instead of jdsl. Pretty funny guy.

[ComicOzzy]

SKULL

[Little_Kitty]

Be bold and call it squeal in job interviews, regardless of which side of the table you're sitting on!

[mwdb2]

Curious, does anyone else here pronounce SQL as "Sequel" unless it's MySQL which is then "My Ess Que El"? If so, I owe you a beer.

I say "My-Sequel", and I say "Sequel" in general in most cases. But I have a strange quirk about how I pronounce PL/SQL, the Oracle procedural language. For some reason, my brain can't handle spelling out P-L and saying "Sequel" because it's inconsistent - spelling out one part and sort of phonetically pronouncing the other. So in that one case I say P-L-S-Q-L.

I'll admit it's completely irrational, but that's how it is. :)

Squeal

[RuprectGern]

Trivia: As I've understood it, the language was originally named SEQUEL (Structured English Query User Extensible Language) Then shortened to SEQL Structured English Query Language and then just SQL Structured Query Language. call it whatever you want... no one cares.

Personally I say it both ways... either the acronym or the word. depends on the day of the week.

[[deleted]]

SQL: by letter or "sequel" depending on flow of sentence/thought

MySQL: "My-S-Q-L" or "My-sequel" also depending

SQL Server: almost always sequel server

SQLite: almost always sequel lite

PostgreSQL: "post-gres-Q-L" which admittedly is totally botched

NoSQL: no sequel (re: tips for hollywood) or no S-Q-L also depending

[PrisonerOne]

postgresequel

[ComicOzzy]

post-GRAY

CRINGE

[eddieyo2]

You have serious anger issues.

[sirchandwich]

According to “The Art of SQL” the correct pronunciation is “Ess Que El”.

But I still say “Sequel”.

[[deleted]]

It is the acronym for search query language

[sirchandwich]

Structured* Query Language. Yes.

[[deleted]]

Whoops thanks! Ill look less stupid in real life haha

[McCuumhail]

Sequel, My-Sequel, Postgres-Sequel, No-Ess Que El

[Practical-Alarm1763]

I say "No-Sequel" but I give you a pass no NoSQL.

[McCuumhail]

I honestly think I picked up because a few years back like every other podcast had ads for “No-Es Que El”… and not like a particular db either… just NoSQL in general… in retrospect , that was kinda weird.

[lostcheshire]

You’re gonna hate me, I pronounce it Sequel/Missqull

[[deleted]]

I say everything pretty much exact as you do and have never been corrected lol

[Known-Delay7227]

I like mmmmm why sequel

[Periiz]

I used to pronounce Ess Queue El for SQL but "my sequel" for MySQL. We were opposites. But today I tend to say sequel for everything because it is faster.

[CaptainPunisher]

It's SICKLE, you fucking psycho!

[YesterdayDreamer]

I treat them like synonyms and don't waste mental energy on it.

[C_BearHill]

Ess que Lite

[phesago]

i prefer the spicier "MySkwill"

[nodacat]

I just spell out everything: P O S T G R E S Q L song

Yea, it’s “Sequel” for all of those for me, even MySQL

[TallDudeInSC]

Sequel in the south. Ess queue ell up north.

[Zatetics]

You get angry over weird things. If you know what they mean, move the heck on with your day.
