@frostedechoes Thank you. I have always known it as sequel too. I heard it as the other in Jack Ryan, the Amazon show that we are watching about a CIA analyst who turns into Jason Bourne.

@pratik Sequel. Dunno why, just always have. Once had a coworker who had only every read it in training manuals who said SQL until he joined our team and heard us ALL saying sequel.

He got in line quick.

@pratik SQL originally ... and you can trace my roots to VERY early Oracle .... so much so that when I launched the Oracle corporate magazine ‘SeQueL’ ... some people didn’t get it.

@nertzy That sounds a bit different since it's a longer name. Was mostly wondering about SQL.
