I pronounce XQP as ex queue pee so I reckon SQL should be ess queue ell, 
even if it was around twenty years before I was. Anyone who disagrees 
can send me a WAV of how they say "XQP" for my consideration. ;)

Anyway a little digging on wikipedia found this:

/SQL/ is commonly spoken either as the names of the letters /ess-cue-el/ 
(IPA : 
[ˈɛsˈkjuˈɛl]), or like the word /sequel/ (IPA 
: 
[ˈsiːkwəl]). The official pronunciation of SQL according to ANSI 
 is /ess-cue-el/. However, each of 
the major database products (or projects) containing the letters /SQL/ 
has its own convention: MySQL  is 
officially and commonly pronounced "/My Ess Cue El/"; PostgreSQL 
 is expediently pronounced 
/postgres/ (being the name of the predecessor to PostgreSQL); and 
Microsoft SQL Server  
is commonly spoken as /Microsoft-sequel-server/.


Being a strong proponent of SQL standards, I am glad to see that ANSI 
got it right. ;-)

In the book "SQLite" by Chris Newman on Page 8 it states: "...it is
pronounced sequel-lite by its creator..."




obviously the database is more ACID-compliant and consistent than the
database's creator. ;-)

Hi All,

I have a simple question; how do you pronounce SQL and SQLite?

Well there is that Google video. You could look at that to get Dr Hipp's 
 definitive pronunciation, but ISTR even he wasn't 100% consistent. ;)

Me too! That is what prompted my original message. I just wanted to see
if I was perhaps the only one who was bothered by that pronunciation.

Thanks for the confirmation.




snobs ;-)

well, I am used to saying "My Ess Que Ell" even though its creator
insists that it is "Me Ess Que Ell" (Me is the name of his daughter).
But, somehow "See Que Lite" flows better than "Ess Que Lite" or worse
and incorrect "Ess Que Ell Lite"

In any case, unless DRH establishes a semi-official policy, let the
pronounciation be in public domain as well... to each her own.

Yeah. In some circles, "sequel" is reserved for the original SEQUEL
query language were first published in 1974 by Don Chamberlin and Ray
Boyce at the ACM–SIGFIDET Workshop on Data Description, whereas "ess
cue ell" is used for subsequent standardized versions of the language.

Personally, I use "sequel" and "sequel-light".  I think I remember from DRH's 
Google presentation video he uses "ess cue el ite" for his product.

Hi All,

I have a simple question; how do you pronounce SQL and SQLite?

I have heard some people pronounce SQL like "sequel", others like 
"squeal", and others like three words "ess cue el". Which do you prefer?

How about SQLite? Is it "ess cue light" or something else like "sequel 
light"?

I prefer "ess cue el" and "ess cue light" myself.

I use a twist on the various versions listed so far: "es cue el-ait".

Hearing "sequel" for SQL always makes me cringe.

Join the club, Joel.
I do the same, myself. With the only difference that I pronounce the
'S' 'Q' and 'L' letters in Portuguese.
