How, really, do people pronounce PostgreSQL?
I've read the politically correct answer, "Post-Gres-Q-L" but it's
such a mouthful, such a day's work to pronounce, that there must be a
real street pronunciation, or a number of them, that are not being
confessed to.
They say that SQL should be pronounced "Sequel" and I've even met
people who do that. The need for a simple pronunciation with many
fewer than 4 syllables seems more urgent for PostgreSQL.
"Pig Swill" is an easy guess. It is quite catchy and simple. But I
wonder if there are other, perhaps more flattering pronunciations.
Do you have a snappy pronunciation and what is it? I'd be interested
in what the babble is at your PostgreSQL site.
I pronounce it as above, or just refer to it as 'p-g-s-q-l' ... others
just refer to it as postgres ... and I've heard of 'pig squeal', but had
heard 'pig swill' ...
