That was the original name IBM wanted to use, but it was already trademarked. I remember my professor making a point of not pronouncing it sequel, and telling us that story.
My opinion has alwaya been called it what ever you like, so long as people know what you’re talking about. S.Q.L. sequel, sequal, whatever. They’re all close enough to be understandable.
“sequel” is one I heard before.
