How do you pronounce MySQL?

[TashaJ]

It's My S.Q.L. Short for Structured Query Language right?
Was speaking to a developer yesterday who I thought was really pro until they pronounced it sequel. Or is Sequel another database?
I've started to just says the database so I don't pronounce it wrong.
Do you call it S.Q.L or sequel, or something different?

My sequel

Never had to, but probably when I'll have to say it I'll be like "Hold up" and then proceeds to write it on a post-it and show it to the one I'm talking to.

Generally my sequel but it doesn't really matter. Knowing how to use it (or not use it) is much more important.

Verbally, I refer it to as MySequel.

 

[kingvestor]

I pronounce it "My Sz Key El"

I've been trying to avoid saying it my whole career.

Based on the MySQL documentation, the official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.

MY SEGAL!

If MariaDB had been called MySeagull it would have been more popular.

My sequel if you did CD and have a career in tech. The rest as it would normally read.

If you really want to look cool, "S-Q-L" or "Sequel." Leave the "My" out and show them no one streamlines like you.
