据我观察,中国的开发者创造了一种独特的SQL发音:/'sɜːkl/,既好听,又好读,挺好的。但是今年我开始做数据库相关的工作,作为一个专业人士,决定对SQL发音进行一些考证。
直接说结论吧,很多人沿用了/ˈsiːkwəl/这个读音,因为这门语言以前叫做“SEQUEL”。但更官方一些的读音应该是ISO标准规定的/ˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/。这个说法的依据是,有好事者给Don Chamberlin(SQL语言发明者之一[1])发邮件[2],内容如下:
Hello Don,
I’m sorry to waste your time with such a silly question, but I’ve often heard SQL pronounced S-Q-L or as Sequel. I’ve also seen the official pronunciation listed both ways. According to wikipedia, you and Raymond Boyce created the language and it was shortened to SQL after some legal dispute. So my question is, is there an official pronunciation to SQL? Thank you for your time.
