    I think it is supposed to be pronounced "sequel" but everyone I talk to says "S.Q.L".

    As with anything with SQL, it depends.

    S.Q.L. for the language.
    Sequel for Microsoft SQL Server or PL/SQL (PeeEl Sequel)

    In Spanish, "esecuele"

    Omg. Its S.Q.L. of course. Shoot every monster who pronounces it differently.

    Are we doing this again? *sigh*
    While you're googling the rants on this can you count how many times I wrote what the answer to this (according to creators) is and let me know? Kthxbai :)
    It was originally SEQUEL, then changed to SQL, but people were already used to SEQUEL so they continued calling it sequel even though it was technically S Q L. The different actual implementations, however, have different rules. Microsoft SQL server is sequel, MySQL is My S Q L (although they're fine with you calling it My sequel), etc.

    @abr4xas as an Erasmus in Spain, I was confused when the teachers talked about something being "Trouhe"(True).

    S.Q.L of course. Haven't ever met the people who claim to pronounce it differently.
