> The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.
There's an equivalent page in the SqlServer docs somewhere that recommends SequelServer as the idiomatic pronunciation.
I pronounce each of them idiomatically. When saying SQL I tend to say S-Q-L unless I'm around people who tend to say Sequel, in which case I say it that way. Most people I meet in person also tend to say S-Q-L, presumably because that is how it is written.
According to a book I read years ago, some people pronounce it "Squirrel", but I've never personally met one.
The "squirrel" point in your comment was really confusing, it didn't sound like SQL to me at all.
Until I realised that you probably mean the American pronunciation of "squirrel" that sounds something like "skwerl"? I grew up calling the animal a "skwi-rull" :)
