I say ess cue ell for the sake of uniformity because it's not Mysequel nor Postgresequel and the language changed from Sequel to the acronym SQL in the 70s so not really in the "too new" ballpark anymore.

I think those make sense as deviations. I've heard "my sequel" but you're absolutely right about postgresql.

The name is kinda irrelevant like hard vs soft g in gif. People know what you mean when you say either.

But in that same vein, the creator of the "graphics interchange format" says the pronunciation is soft g, but basically everyone says hard g... So "official" pronunciation is kinda irrelevant.

I don't judge anyone who uses whichever term they want, but I've just noticed the general trend in my smallish interaction bubble.
