According to the manual
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/what-is.html):

"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."

Um, did anyone actually answer Jesse's question?


The consensus seems to be that the correct way to pronounce it is My S-Q-L, 
Not My Sequel.  So, that's the way I'm going to pronounce it.  Actually, 
most of the people I say the name to have no idea what I'm talking about 
anyway.  I only rarely have vocal communication with someone who would even 
know what a database is, let alone what MySQL is.  So, I guess in the long 
run, it doesn't really matter, but just for those rare occassions when I'm 
talking with someone who knows what it is, I want to pronounce it right. 
Most of my technical conversations occur through e-mail or newsgroups like 
this one, in which I spell it MySQL, and the way it's pronounced doesn't 
matter. :-)

Sincerely, this one goes to my collection of hilarious threads! *LOL*

Now, serious. I care how its pronounced because I talk to people as
much as I type to the computer, and the computer just warns me if I
type something wrong, while saying something wrong to someone will
have at least two consequences:

1) The person will not understand you (and you'll look like an idiot)
2) The person will infer what you mean even you saying it wrong (and
you'll look even more like an idiot)

I personally will avoid these situations.

What Jimmy G said is correct, the official pronunciation is:

"My' Ess'-Queue-El"

However, as a bit of trivia, the original pronunciation is more like:

"Mee' Ess'-Queue-El"

because My is the name of Monty's daughter, and in Swedish, the
pronunciation of My sounds more like "Me"...

- when SQL was invented it was pronounced "sequel", but this conflicted

How To Pronounce MySQL

2006-06-08 Thread Jesse
This may be a really stupid question, but I hate looking stupid if I can 
avoid it. :-)


I have been using Microsoft SQL Server for a while, and I'm now trying to 
switch all our applications over to use MySQL.  Microsoft SQL Server is 
pronounced "Sequel Server".  Is MySQL pronounced "My Sequel", or is it 
pronounced "My S-Q-L"?  I mean, generally speaking?


Thanks,
Jesse
