error on the Linnux, but that's the whole other thread

**chupachups** · 01-06-2009, 01:04 AM

I say My ES Q EL - but any english speaking person I have met say myseekwell.

**RedShoe** · 01-06-2009, 01:06 AM

I pronounce it like:
MYSQL
1 - 2

Sounds like "High School"
My-SKUEL

I make it even shorter, and thus make it better. I rule.

My-S-Q-L

just as S-Q-L by itself

for those that don't say My-S-Q-L, how do you pronounce SQL by itself then?

**grumpy** · 01-06-2009, 01:11 AM

You plagiarizing bastard!

Jeff Spicoli pronounced it that way in Fast Times at Ridgemont High in 1982. Give the credit where credit is due!

**sarad** · 01-06-2009, 01:18 AM

Being a bit of a geek I have had this same discussion quite a few times - i always say MY-S-Q-L (My Ess Queue Elle) which is apparently the correct pronunciation

"The official way to pronounce ?MySQL? is ?My Ess Que Ell? (not ?my sequel?), but we don't mind if you pronounce it as ?my sequel? or in some other localized way. "

I was going to say...
Linux guys say My S-Q-L (properly from Structured Query Language)
Windows guys say My Sequel as in 'seek well'

**StuartD** · 01-06-2009, 07:43 AM

I see 3 letters, so I say 3 letters. S-Q-L
If it was mysequel, I'd say it mysequel.

That's just how my brain works.

**sortie** · 01-06-2009, 07:49 AM

Why not just SQL; who doesn't know that it's mine?

Funny, but there is a SQL, and MS SQL, and MySQL and so forth.

Windows guys are clearly idiots.

True, but nobody using PHP would ever know that.

**woj** · 01-06-2009, 08:18 AM

my sequel sounds stupid, it's almost kinda like someone trying to pronounce PHP as Pe-Hep or something similar...

**Babaganoosh** · 01-06-2009, 05:20 PM

MY SEQUEL runs on the new MacBook Wheel!!!!!

Welp this thread just got fucking OWNED. Hahaha.... suckers... My sequel... good lord.

**leek** · 01-06-2009, 06:49 PM

The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we don't mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.

L anguage

=> es-que-ell

**Libertine** · 01-06-2009, 07:08 PM

Th true question, however, is this: how do you pronounce PostgreSQL without choking?

**fuzebox** · 01-06-2009, 07:43 PM

Just because microsoft markets theirs as "sequel server" doesn't mean SQL is pronounced sequel

**Bird** · 01-06-2009, 07:53 PM

For me I just say S-Q-L and anytime I hear SEQUEL, I always ask if they mean MYSQL.

Ding ding ding - we have a winner.

This is exactly why I say my sequel - I learnt first on post gresquel first, then went over to my sequel.....

es queue elle, my aye are esss

**WarChild** · 01-06-2009, 10:41 PM

I've only ever called any database server the same thing:

"Get your fucking dirty mitts away from that server or I'll slap your stupid face.".

**spacedog** · 01-06-2009, 11:12 PM

ok... now I have to find part I

**seeric** · 01-06-2009, 11:20 PM

sequel

i've always called it sequel.

**rowan** · 01-07-2009, 08:01 AM

I've never had to say it out loud.

I remember walking into a computer store a couple of years ago and asking for a "Serial ATA drive."

"Oh, you mean saa-taa"
