The history... SEQUEL came before MYSQL and the only thing they share is common is basic functionality.. Put in a statement and get a result. So when MYSQL came out it was thought that MY Sequel would be the wrong way to pronounce it since it might 1) be grounds for a lawsuit by IBM and 2) confuse people that think it is a derivative of SEQUEL.

This time they got it wrong... It is not MY S Q L since that is 4 syllables and any coder knows that if you can do it with less and be more efficient you do it with less...

MY S Q L
1 - 2-3-4

MY SEQUEL
1 -- 2 --3

So when we talk on the phone about LI-nux and MY-SEQUEL you had better pronounce this fucking shit right and not like they taught you in fucking school. You just show off that you are a newb with no experience or real skills when you do that.
