Good question. Depending on the version of SQL. If it is MSSQL, I call is M.S.sequel, if it is Oracle I say eye.ese.que.ell. Hmm, good question!

Sequel.

I usually say "SKWELL" when refering to a DB file ... but refer to the DB program as a "SEE KWELL"

I say sequel (mysequel for mysql) but I think it's proper name is "S-Q-L," the letters spelled out.

I don't know what SQL stands for, so I would say "Es-cue-ell". Or maybe even "skull".

I say es-cue-ell but I might change it to sequel.

Its actually pronounced Sequel origianlly. Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce of IBM created the Structured English Query Language (SEQUEL) to manipulate and manage data. The acronym SEQUEL was later changed to SQL because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley aircraft company. BUT ANSI says that the official pronunciation for SQL is "es queue el"......so the original is SEQUEL, but the official (bc of legal reasons) is es queue el. So it really depends on if you want stay firm and trace its roots back down to previous versions, or want to go by what ANSI says. I personally use SEQUEL when talking to DB knowledgeable people and use es-queue-el when talking to non-DB people or noobs.

"Sequel" is the correct pronunciation for Structured English QUEry Language (SEQUEL). S.Q.L is the correct pronunciation for Structured Query Language. They are different. If you read SQL and say "sequel" you are either a very old DBA stuck in your ways or an idiot. thedatamanipulator's answer is the only correct one here but unfortunately the crappy website won't let me rate it because it says my email is unconfirmed so thedatamanipulator +1 Firebrand -6
