I have been using Microsoft SQL Server for a while, and I'm now trying
to switch all our applications over to use MySQL. Microsoft SQL
Server is pronounced "Sequel Server". Is MySQL pronounced "My
Sequel", or is it pronounced "My S-Q-L"? I mean, generally speaking?
- when SQL was invented it was pronounced "sequel", but this conflicted
with an existing trademark so ANSI fixed its pronunciation as
"ess-que-ell". I tend to stick with the ANSI pronunciation, although you
still hear "sequel" being used today... and not just by old-timers :-)
