Dude, I've built over 30 enterprise-level ODBC database apps. I bet you can't even program in sequel.

SQLs not a programming language, it's a query language, so noone can really program in it. Procedural augmentations to SQL such as PL/SQL are a different matter.

In b4 someone mentions "Turing completeness".

I actually built a very basic computer out of squirrels once. It consisted of 64 squirrels in an array of boxes, each box having two rooms (or states). When I wanted to increment the value of a register, a food pellet was dropped into a particular set of boxes. I was able to do a few addition and subtraction calculations before the system had an overflow (some of the squirrels chewed their way out of the boxes).

Yes, he did. But the fact of the matter is that I wrote a Sequel compiler in phpGTK for importing into DB2 and wrapped it in a Joomla plugin. I don't hear you making such claims.

AccessGuru: 30 enterprise-level ODBC
The real WTF is someone posting nonsense like this, and using "AccessGuru" as a username in these forums also has a sig that mentions "World class IT solutions". Access/Guru/World class solutions/enterprise-level ODBC? Can you say "oxymoron"?

KenW: You wrote a Sequel(Lisp or SQL?) compiler in a web scripting language using a GUI framework, and then did som completely irrelevant things using a database and a CMS? Sounds like a really good setup for someone aspiring on getting a Swampy-award(tm).
It was for Sequal Server. I was going to use ASP.NET but I'm still trying to install the framework.

WTF is 'Sequal Server'??? Jesus christ.... do you mean MSSQL Server? I think KenW might have you pegged correctly... AccessGuru: I was going to use ASP.NET but I'm still trying to install the framework.
I am sure you mean the .NET framework, which is incredibly quick and easy to install.... I mean wow.... just wow...
Yes, I have been banned. Thanks to all for a good time.
Tired of incompetent moderation?
Wondering where all the clever discussion went?

I know some people pronounce it "sequel" - but I don't because it just seems silly* Whatever people want to pronounce it, it is pronounced that way, not written that way. Or do you also write ay es pee dot net? *Note: I am not a DBA, maybe if I were one all the other DBAs would laugh at me calling it S-Q-L!
Linux is not a code base. Or a distro. Or a kernel. It's an attitude. And it's not about Open Source. It's about a bunch of people who still think vi is a good config UI.

Oh no, I cringe on the "Sequel Server" pronunciation ... but "Sequ al"? Sounds like the jigawatt syndrome!
Ok, I'm back on working with my deebeetoo and saibeize projects...

I don't. I firmly believe that only an idiot would care if you call it S-Q-L or sequel. But to write it out? Holy jesus. That is a whole different level. And yeah, we have already had that flamewar, so spare us your feeling on the subject. Anyone who cares has too much time on their hands.

Not really concerned on pronunciation; personally I refer to SAP as "sap", CICS as "sicks", RACF as "rack-F" and such. But I'm not about to write "Rack-F" ... kind of reminds me when we got a requirement for creating new users in the EL DAP server...
Anyway, I'd definitely not put Access as something I'm an expert with. And writing "Sequel Server" in a C.V. isn't going to look so bright...

I know we've had this discussion here before (probably many times) but if I recall correctly the pronounciation of SQL as 'sequel' appears to be Microsoft specific.

No, it comes from the pre-cursor to SQL called SEQUEL developed by IBM. When SQL became an ANSI standard the "official" pronunciation became S-Q-L.
