It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
I've long since stopped caring about consistency -- it's "sequel" or "ess cue ell", "day-ta" or "dah-ta" more or less at the flip of a coin. It's always "sequel server" if I'm talking about the MS product but that's it.
Wouldn't the analogous pronunciation for GraphQL be "graph-quill" rather than "graph-cool" though?
I just wanted to highlight that people will always find a way to pronounce things in many different ways and SQL was a good candidate for it. I used to care, now I don't. It's one of the endless discussions in programming world, among with tabs vs. spaces, tab size and whatever else is there.
