Back on topic though.
I suggest some alternate pronunciations
Skweekle
Squiggle
Ess-kwell
and...this is for Rob, living in the South and all 
Squeal

Alternative pronunciations:
when it is optimized, it is : SeekWell
when it is NOT optimized, it is : Seek ... Well?
By the way, MS SQL server , afaik, was born out of MS working with Sybase? Thus we could say that MS's product is the ... sequel ?

...but not Squiggol, which is a whole nother kettle of worms. Favorite paper name: "Functional Programming with Bananas, Lenses, Envelopes, and Barbed Wire"

Just wondering - do you guys say "S-Q-L" or "sequel" - I've heard vehement arguments for both.

Weren't there two seperate languages at one time called Structured Query Language and Sequel? Sequel was eventually dropped and people started pronouncing SQL, short for Structured Query Language, as sequel?

Dunno but as I said, in 1990, they were both the same thing....

I heard some guy say "skwil" a while back. Still haven't decided if it's cool or not.

It's pronounced "SKWEE-ull"
(as in "SQL like a pig")...

There once was a posting from yore
Of pronunciations, TLAs and much more
I remember it now -
That yak-friendly row
But think it's time that we showed it the door
