I'm pretty sure PostgreSQL is intended to be pronounced "post-gress-q-l", given its relationship to Ingres ("in-gress").



I've always called it just postgress, perhaps because of that reason.


I usually pronounce PostgreSQL "post-greh-see-quel", though sometimes I use the pronunciation you give, just as sometimes I pronounce MySQL as "my-s-q-l". Partly it depends on the conversation, since I tend to fall into whatever the other person is calling it.


They used to have a sound bite on the Pg site. They do not pronounce it that way. They pronounce it...ah here you go:
