Check this out:
By the way, the correct pronunciation of SQL is a contentious issue within the database community. In their SQL standard, the American National Standards Institute declared that the official pronunciation is "es queue el." However, many database professionals have taken to the slang pronunciation "sequel." The choice is yours.
I've come to start saying es queue el now a days, even though sequel sounds a lot cooler :D But I guess the official way of saying it is is to pronounce each letter.

S.Q.L for nearly everything but Microsoft's Sequel products.

Post-Gray-S.Q.L for that unpronounceable group of letters, although I believe I've heard "post-gress" leaving off the "QL" before.
