IBM insisted "SQL" be pronounced as three letters for exactly that
reason: to distinguish it from its forerunner, SEQUEL.  IIRC, SEQUEL
was trademarked by another firm, and pronouncing SQL to sound like
"sequel" risked trademark infringement.

Yup, that's what I write, too.  But I've given up my Pedant Pin in
conversation because "sequelite" trips off this English-speaker's
tongue.  Practically saves a second every time I say it, must have
added up to hours by now.

Thank you all for the responses, video reference, and apologizes for
the origin post of pasting directly from the Wikepedia webpage, they
have (eskju:el'lait) or (si:kwel.lait).

I'm making some tutorial videos for my project and just wished to
appear to know slightly what I was talking about when using SQLite,
pronouncing, for the examples database connection for demonstration.

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO.  Thanks for sharing.

Everyone I work with...or worked with...that sees me work with SQLite
(sequel lite to me) asks...what is that?  why are using that?  I love it.
It is the best configuration manager.

[sqlite] SQLite Pronunciation

[Stephen Chrzanowski]

No, not at all.  Inside and outside this forum/list I've seen arguments
about the proper pronunciation of different acronyms, and sometimes it has
gotten pretty heated.  I've got no problems with people asking the
question, I just face palm when I see people take it to the next level of
debate over something that really doesn't have an effect on anything.  So
long the idea is presented of what you're trying to communicate, I can't
grasp at why people pull out their hair, want to start wars (Nuclear or
flame) over how something.

Like, look at my name... Come on... I'd be on death row if I got even a
TINY bit upset if someone mispronounced Stephen.  {smirk}

[sqlite] SQLite Pronunciation

[Stephen Chrzanowski]

Standards, official, or not, I've always pronounced it as Sequel.
Ehm-Ess-Sequel, My-Sequel, Sequel-Lite, etc.

IMO, S-Q-L is an acronym, as everyone knows, and since RADAR(1) is also an
Acronym, why the fuss?  To me, it falls off the tongue easier to say Sequel
instead of Ess-Queue-Ell.

[sqlite] SQLite Pronunciation

[da...@dandymadeproductions.com]

Hello,

Please grant me some leeway here since as someone who has
not been in an academic school for years and is mainly self
taught. I have Mainly deriving information from reading
manuals and occasionally viewing some videos.

Maybe I'm wrong, but according to Wikepedia SQLite appears
to be pronounced the same has it is spelled,
(sikwl.lat).
Maybe not a long A there perhaps.

Where as I first heard Microsoft's MSSQL pronounce (sequent),
which I have also heard in academic videos by professors.
Following that logic, SQLite, (sequent.light)?

[sqlite] SQLite Pronunciation

[Jay Kreibich]

IIRC, the SQL ISO standard defines the pronunciation of the term ?SQL? as 
"ess-cue-ell?, although if you trace SQL back to the IBM days of SEQUEL, there 
is a strong argument that the term ?sequel? makes more sense.

I know when the SQLite development team speaks about it, they tend to use the 
term ?ess cue ell lite? (technically doubling the ?L?).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jib2AmRb_rk

When writing the book ?Using SQLite,? I actually had a rather long discussion 
with my editor about this, since the pronunciation affects the choice of words 
when talking about ?an ess-cue-ell lite database? vs ?a sequel-lite database? 
(?an? vs ?a?).  Knowing the development team tends to pronounce the letters, I 
went with ?an.?

[sqlite] SQLite Pronunciation

[Marc L. Allen]

That sounds like someone that comes from the land of Sequel. ;)

I realize there *is* an official pronunciation, but I will probably forever 
pronounce it as S-Q-L-light, regardless of what it really is. :)

I was going to answer S-Q-L-lite because it's definitely "S-Q-L", but I
admit to saying "sequelite" because it's easier to say.  

Then I had to ask myself on whose say-so is "S-Q-L" correct, in any
sense?  I found this:

http://patorjk.com/blog/2012/01/26/pronouncing-sql-s-q-l-or-sequel/

I occurs to me that SQL came from IBM, an organization fond of
acronymns.  If you lived in the land of SNA, LU6.2, CICS, MVS, and
IMS, you would probably pronounce it S-Q-L.  (Although I knew
Englishmen who called CICS "kicks".)

Sure, but how do you say "strstr(3)"?  ;-)

It's "Hear! Hear!" as in "Hear him! Hear him!"

When IBM brought out SCSI, they initially pronounced it "sexy" and
wanted it that way, but somebody thought of "scuzzy" and that's what
caught fire with people.

Database professionals have been pronouncing it as 'sequel' ('see kwel') for 
years.  They might be seen as 'the old guard' and ISO as the young 
standardisers fighting against them.  I don't know.  First paragraph of first 
answer:



Pronunciation is a problem with IT professionals because they get much of their 
information from written sources.  In fact I have used half a dozen computing 
technologies where I've never heard their names pronounced.  Perhaps technical 
English is getting more like German, which is a written language which people 
try to talk, rather than English, which is a spoken language which people try 
to write down.

I was once asked whether Ministers of Parliament were shouting "here here" or 
"hear hear" and I didn't have a clue.  I had to look it up in Hansard.  And 
even now I know the answer I don't know how the cry originated.

  As I understand it, the "ess-cue-ell" pronunciation is part of
  the ISO standard for SQL.

  If you want to be real formal, it does (which means, for a mailing
  list, I guess it doesn't).
  
  When I was working on "Using SQLite" I got into a discussion with my
  editor about the usage "an SQL statement" vs "a SQL statement." (or
  "an SQLite database"... it goes on an on).

  We ended up going with "an SQL..." because it is more correct for the
  "ess-cue-ell" pronunciation.

Heh.  I can't think of a more 'cannonical' source.  I've been doing it wrong, 
but I can't remember the last time I spoke the word out loud so it doesn't 
matter.

[sqlite] "SQLite" Pronunciation

[fred]

OK, how does one pronounce "SQLite"? "see-kwel-lite"? "ess-kyoo-lite"?
"ess-kyoo-ell-lite"? "see-kwel-ite"? "ess-kyoo-ell-ite"? Or...?

I guess, to some extent, it may depend on whether one pronounces (or
mispronounces) "SQL" as "see-kwel" or as "ess-kyoo-ell".

I think I read someplace that the author of SQLite pronounced it as
"ess-kyoo-ell-ite". (?) I couldn't find any pronunciation mentioned on
sqlite.org.

Is there a consensus here? (Yes, I know that pronunciation matters little
on a mailing list.)

Gee, "see-plus-plus", "emm-eff-see", and "boost" (etc.) are all a lot
easier (to pronounce, anyway - ).
