which one are you?
@nixCraft Always be Phoebe, never Joey.
@nixCraft I'm in the "Ess Queue Ell" camp, but "Sequel" is fine.. whats not fine is "Squeal"
@nixCraft when I’m being silly…otherwise I'll mix and match my SQL with my JSON gifs.
@nixCraft MyS-Q-L, MS-sequel, Oracle.

@nixCraft

Back in the early 90s I was a new Unix admin. The department manager started telling me about a new database we'd be switching to. He called it 'squeel'.

I've called it that ever since.

@nixCraft joey when talking about mySQL but Phoebe when talking about postgresql.
@nixCraft
"Squeeel" is the correct pronunciation
@nixCraft This is fun! Technically (and legally) “sequel” is wrong. It was “SEQUEL” but another company held the trademark so they removed the vowels. So it’s even written in the standard that it’s “es que ell” over fears of violating the trademark if it was spoken.
