I don't know about SQLite, but I started out pronouncing "ess-cue-ell" until I figured out that "SEE-quell" is a much smoother interpretation of "SQL". So, personally I would say "SEE-quell-light", despite my family's preponderance of geologists.

Now, let's do "PostgreSQL"!

    Wouldn't SQUEAL be an even smoother interpretation of SQL?

      Yes, and I've heard colleagues pronounce it as "Squeal", but it seemed less dignified to me, so I simply went with my preference. Would you rather mention in an interview that you programmed in "Squeal" or "Sequel"?

It's S-Q-L-ite, like we pronounce kryptonite.
