The prevent pronunciation of SQL as "sequel" is probably a result of it being frequently paired with an actual word, like MySQL or PostgreSQL. Or the fact that saying "M-S-S-Q-L" is a pronunciation obstacle course.
It’s actually because that’s the original pronunciation. It was SEQUEL, the sort-of successor to the QUEL QUEry Language. The shortening to SQL came later.
Ok thanks. MySQL, PostgreSQL and MSSQL are all cases when I actually say S - Q - L.
I say sequel when I use sqlplus, sqldeveloper, SQLServer.
