I've heard people refer to it as the former

Not either, "see-kwul". Saying the letters makes you sound like you read about it in a book once.

See-Kwul is more common

See-kwul refers to MS SQL server. ESS-cue-el is the query language. That's how I see it at least...

Agree with A1 - go with the former

Former

Either but I have heard former more

In my CompSci classes, the profs called it S-Q-L. This was in Europe, though.

Definitely "See-kwul"

Is it Bay-in or ba-ne ?

I've heard the latter more often.The programmers I work with pronounce it es-queue-ell (we work in an SQL environment). See: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/7231/how-is-sql-pronounced

Please, I beg of you, it's "ess que el". It's the same concept as "ess eh pee" vs just "sap" [the ERP]

I say the letters and barely know the language. Don't be me.

Had a friend that was great at the language but he didn't know there were two pronunciations per se. He only knew it as "ess que el". Interviewer asked him if he knew "see kwul" and he said no. Asked why he put it on his resume then and that was when he found out. He ended up getting the offer though so it was all good.

I use it/talk about it every day. It's the former. If you use the latter your going to look like you know what it is but I would immediately know you've never used or talked about it before

It's based on your team. If everyone says see kwel then everyone will continue saying it that way. I use it every day and everyone I work with says see kwel also.

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
