According to The world's most advanced open source database, the consensus is that you pronounce it post:gres:Q:L.
A phonetic respelling could be 'pohst:grehs:kew:el':

in 'gres' the 'e' sounds like it does in 'best';
QL is pronounced like the letters of the alphabet.

PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a free and open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that insists on compliance with extensibility and technical standards.
It is designed to handle a series of workloads, along with many machines, in which there are several concurrent users with data warehouse or web services.

I say Postgres. I also do searches without the QL. AFAIK, the non-SQL version of Postgres fell out of use a while ago. And that is two extra syllables/letters I don't have to waste energy on.
post-grehs-Q-L or just post-grehs for short.

What about that sequel to that movie? :)
Yeah, yeah... :P
