Yeah, "My" is actually pronounced wrong by 99% of all MySQL users.

Sure, but

> The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is “My Ess Que Ell” (not “my sequel”), but we do not mind if you pronounce it as “my sequel” or in some other localized way.

The SQL part as well, it should be pronounced "squeal".

[Fire-Dragon-DoL]

What's the correct way to pronounce it?

[nemoniac]

Roughly rhymes with the "vu" in "Déjà vu"

There is actually a relation, it used to be called SAP DB and MySQL AB renamed it to MaxDB.
