'S. Q. L.' Some even pronounce it as 'squirrel' (for some unknown
reason). Amusingly, there are experts who insist on one variant or
another.
I learned SQL in 1983 as part of my SQL/DS & DB2 evals, and 1984 for
Oracle evals. There were raging debates in those days about the correct
pronunciation. To my knowledge, there is no definitive conclusion to
the debate - as a result, when I teach I use both variants
interchangably.
Note that it's really not earth shattering ... it just doesn't matter
.... just PLEASE don't say SQL when you in fact mean "Microsoft SQL
Server"

The database language is "Ess-Queue-Elle".
Microsoft's database product is Sequel Server.
At least that's how we distinguish them here.

Re: SQL
Within the company that invented SQL, (IBM), it was referred to as "Sequel"
before any other company copied it.
