SQL和MySQL的发音

平时有很多人读SQL有着各种各样的读法，有点哈姆雷特的感觉。今天无意中又看到关于读音的讨论就特地搜了下，发现还是有点意思的，分享下吧。

如果你曾经在团队中工作过，你可能听到各式各样的读音，我现在的团队就有着除了文中提到的另外两个读音，虽然读音都不一样，不过好像也并不影响交流哈哈，真是神奇。
SQL是结构化查询语言（Structured Query Language）的首字母缩写，因此通过分别拼出首字母的发音为“Ess Que Ell”没毛病。
并且，MySQL的官方文档写着：

The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.
所以为什么还是有人读“sequel”？
根据Wiki的记载：
SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Ted Codd in the early 1970s.This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasi-relational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San Jose Research Laboratory had developed during the 1970s.

Chamberlin and Boyce's first attempt of a relational database language was Square, but it was difficult to use due to subscript notation. After moving to the San Jose Research Laboratory in 1973, they began work on SEQUEL.The acronym SEQUEL was later changed to SQL because "SEQUEL" was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Limited company.
可以看出，最开始使用的是“SEQUEL”这个词，但是由于商标的原因，改为了“SQL”。
那么究竟用哪一种读法好点呢？做选择总是痛苦的

所以，我全都要~~!
