Well ... Originally, SQL was called SEQUEL (Structured English QUEry Language) and was designed and implemented at IBM Research as the interface for an experimental relational database system called 'SYSTEM R'.
... I love keeping the ol' text books around! Steve, you forgot to mention the database that is the backbone of the web - MS Access ;) cheers David -----Original Message----- From: Steve Onnis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 4:29 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: OT:Sequel / SQL Server Ryan SQL is a language, just like CFML, HTML, ASP, PHP and so on. From what I can gather, the term "Sequal" has come about from people trying to say SQL to fast. SQL SQual SeQual When you code for MSSQL, mySQL or even Oracle, you are coding SQL. Thats my take Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ryan Sabir Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 4:51 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] OT:Sequel / SQL Server Hey all, Can someone tell me whether the name "Sequel Server" is a Microsoft endorsed name for their product? Every piece of official literature from MS I can see refers to it as SQL Server, and a search of the MS site doesn't turn up much for 'sequel', but then again... a Google search for "Sequel Server" will give you the MS SQL Server page as the first hit. I personally get annoyed when people call it Sequel Server... it would like calling MS's scripting language Asspee (heh heh heh).
