I’m the head of IT for my company and it’s S-Q-L and I’m a native speaker.
It’s not a grammatically correct pronunciation at all (which is why it seems like non-native English tends to not say “Sequel”) and even MySQL documentation specifically calls it out and says it’s S-Q-L
I called this S.Q.L. until our IT guy corrected me
Generally English first language speakers say sequel while everyone else spells it out.
If it’s pronounced sequel why isn’t it CQL?
Because it’s not, it’s just something from computing history that is no longer relevant
