Thread: Newbie question: OT
Good morning!
Dumb question:
How do you pronounce PostgreSQl?? Is it like three words: Post Grey Sequel?
Or is gre ponounced like 'GRE'ase?
Just need to know so I can promote my understanding of the DB to my
customers...

From the FAQ: "PostgreSQL is pronounced Post-Gres-Q-L. The name "Postgres" is also used in conversation." http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html#1.1 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

No, that's just how I always incorrectly pronounce it. > Or is gre ponounced like 'GRE'ase? Not that one either. > Just need to know so I can promote my understanding of the DB to my > customers... As far as I've been (repeatedly) told, it's post gres cue ell. Never mind the fact that that's the most unlikely pronunciation I could imagine ;) I generally seem to stay out of trouble with people if I shorten it to post gres, but I get berated (by multiple people) if I slip and say post gray. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com

"post-gres" or "post-gres-cue-ell". See item 1.1 of the FAQ ;-)
There used to be a .wav file on the website, but I can't find it
at the moment.
