AS I under stand it, prior to Sequel, there was "Equel" ("Embedded
QUEry Language" -- pronounced "equal", used with COBOL), so the SQL was in
fact the sequel to Equel.
The real problem with the pronunciation is how to write "SQL" in a
sentence. How you refer to "_a_ sequel statement" or "_an_ ess-que-ell
statement" ?
