@rotnroll666 Took me a bit. If I understood it corectly.

@taseroth @rotnroll666 Some people pronounce it sea-qu-ell , like sequel.

These people are wrong.

@chrisg @taseroth well actually not I think. See attached screenshots from an interview with Donald Chamberlin https://conservancy.umn.edu/items/93b61cc2-672e-48e3-946f-cd2f71951454

The name Sequel itself was a trademark of Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Limited company.

Oral history interview with Donald D. Chamberlin

Don Chamberlin is a research staff member at IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California. In this oral history Chamberlin recounts his early life, his education at Harvey Mudd College and Stanford University, and his work on relational database technology. Chamberlin was a member of the System R research team and, with Ray Boyce, developed the SQL database language. Chamberlin also briefly discusses his more recent research on XML query languages.

@rotnroll666 @taseroth Ok, this is interesting, but in my defense i was not trying to be right or reasonable, just shitposting.
@chrisg @taseroth oh I got this 😃 but couldn’t help myself digging this out.
@chrisg @rotnroll666 That was my understanding. And learned something.
@rotnroll666
