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?
What Jimmy G said is correct, the official pronunciation is:
"My' Ess'-Queue-El"
However, as a bit of trivia, the original pronunciation is more like:
"Mee' Ess'-Queue-El"
because My is the name of Monty's daughter, and in Swedish, the
pronunciation of My sounds more like "Me"...
:)
p.s. That is also where "Max-DB" comes from. Max is the name of
Monty's son, not an implication that Max-DB is "better" than MySQL.
