We are looking "SQL DBA" for fulltime with our client in Houston,
TX.

You spammed this to a Java newsgroup, not a DBA forum.

 

[Lew]

I like how they specified that it has to be an _SQL_ DBA, and not some
other kind of DBA (or rather, "DBA".)

Most often I find that by "SQL", recruiters mean "Microsoft SQL Server", an
interesting and perhaps offensive error.

I note that you pronounce "SQL" "ess queue ell". I usually pronounce it "sequel".

I also place opening braces differently depending on who's receiving my source.

 

[Martin Gregorie]

I note that you pronounce "SQL" "ess queue ell". I usually pronounce it
"sequel".

Pronouncing it as 'sequel' is, IME, largely an Americanism. I almost
never hear it used on this side of the pond.

never hear it used on this side of the pond.

My understanding is that "Sequel" is actually its proper name and
calling it ess-queue-ell is a bit of a rubism. Since it was developed
on this side of the pond, we ought to know.

"SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond
F. Boyce in the early 1970s. This version, initially called SEQUEL
(Structured English Query Language)..."

Did you read the pronunciation section of that link?

All the business meetings and vendor presentations I've been too all
said "Sequel." Admittedly this was a few years (decades?) ago.

 

[markspace]

Yes, but you lot also say "elumenem" when you mean aluminium, so
clearly we can not trust Westpondians when it comes to pronounciation.

I'm pretty sure I pronounce it "aluminum," like a normal person. ;-)

 

[Martin Gregorie]

I believe both pronunciations are quite common, at least wherever I've
worked.

I switch between'em myself. Ayep.

Its the characteristic Westpondian habit of swallowing the
'i' in the final -ium syllable in Aluminium that I always notice,
particularly as its such an obvious anomaly: it is the only name of an
element to be pronounced that way. I've never heard anybody say Uranum,
Germanum, Plutonum or Helum.

I'm talking about "sequel" vs. "ess queue ell". Being American, I do not say
"aluminium", but that has no bearing on Java programming. SQL does.

That's the one I pronounce both ways. Who cares about non-Java-related words?

 

[Gene Wirchenko]

The I does not exist in our spelling of it. We do not swallow
it; we do not say it at all.

particularly as its such an obvious anomaly: it is the only name of an
element to be pronounced that way. I've never heard anybody say Uranum,
OH?

Germanum, Plutonum or Helum.

I have never heard anybody say "Molybdenium", "Platinium", or
"Lanthanium".

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

 

[Martin Gregorie]

I have never heard anybody say "Molybdenium", "Platinium", or
"Lanthanium".

Fair cop.

 

[Gene Wirchenko]

Fair cop.

Mind you, those are the only three (other than Al on the fence).
I did go through a Periodic Table to check, and I was expecting more.

Shall we go after all of metals not named per the "-um" or "-ium"
endings convention? There are some where such a name would fit the
abbreviation: Stibium for Antimony (Sb) and Stannum for Tin (Sn) for
two. Wolfram for Tungsten (W) is such a spoilsport though, and Helium
should be Helion.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
