I was going to answer S-Q-L-lite because it's definitely "S-Q-L", but I admit to saying "sequelite" because it's easier to say. Then I had to ask myself on whose say-so is "S-Q-L" correct, in any sense? I found this: http://patorjk.com/blog/2012/01/26/pronouncing-sql-s-q-l-or-sequel/ I occurs to me that SQL came from IBM, an organization fond of acronymns. If you lived in the land of SNA, LU6.2, CICS, MVS, and IMS, you would probably pronounce it S-Q-L. (Although I knew Englishmen who called CICS "kicks".) > Gee, "see-plus-plus", "emm-eff-see", and "boost" (etc.) are all a lot > easier (to pronounce, anyway - <grin>). Sure, but how do you say "strstr(3)"? ;-) --jkl _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
