Philip Durbin (Sep 20 2024 at 20:51):Never "PostgresQL" please!

OK, so on a marketing site for a database product, you'd be turned off by reading "PostgreSQL"?
Philip Durbin (Sep 20 2024 at 21:39):No, no, "PostgreSQL" is fine. That's the official name of the product. "Postgres" is the colloquial name. I'm just saying it's a pet peeve of mine when people write that "sQL" version.
Philip Durbin (Sep 20 2024 at 21:39): Philip Durbin (Sep 20 2024 at 21:40):"Postgres is a widely-used nickname for PostgreSQL. It was the original name of the project at Berkeley and is strongly preferred over other nicknames. If you find 'PostgreSQL' hard to pronounce, call it 'Postgres' instead."
Thomas Eckert (Sep 21 2024 at 02:07):I say "Postgres". Everyone knows what that means.

Matthew Sanabria (Sep 22 2024 at 15:10):In writing I use PostgreSQL. In speaking I use Postgres.
Nick Sweeting (Nov 20 2024 at 22:28):I am guilty of saying "post-gray-ess-queue-ell" years ago, but I just use postgres universally now
Don MacKinnon (Nov 20 2024 at 23:02):I always say and write Postgres
