Is that pronounced "uncle", or "uncool"?

SQL is pronounced as sequel, so I'd definitely go with uncool. Even though this actually can be quite cool.

Looking forward to explaining to a client that yes, we just need to run this one uncool query to get the report ;-)

SQL is not pronounced as "sequel". The ANSI standard declared that it is pronounced S-Q-L.

Yeah, they pronounced it "uncle" at the CouchConf presentation.
