The acronym SQL is often pronounced sequel (\see' kwill\). That
comes from the old name of the language -- Structured *English* Query
Language (SEQL). The 'E' got dropped, but especially for Microsoft's
SQL Server, it's sometimes (usually?)
A relational database that uses the standard (more or less) Structured Query Language.
Get it? Structured Query Language = SQL = Sequal ("See-Qual")
Today this means most if not all Enterprise quality databases. Sybase, Oracle, MSSQL,
Informix, etc.

What is meant by a "sequal" server/database?
Im spelling it like it sounds :)
SQL was originally supposed to be called Sequel, and/or Structured Query
Language (or Structured English Query Language).
But wasn't due to legal reasons. There is no such thing. SQL is just S-Q-L.
Nothing else.
