Actually, there was a database language called Sequel. It was the
predecessor to SQL. It stood for Structured English Query Language and
was defined by researchers at IBM in 1974. It's the reason why SQL
Server is pronounced "sequel server" and not "ess queue ell server".

The scary part is that I actually had to explain to my boss that SQL
stood for Structured Query Language! In our help desk application, SQL
support is listed as Sequel. I printed this out for his enjoyment.
Thanks

support requests
Hello all,
Quick question. If you do support, do you utilize a support request
form? I need samples to revise ours. People bypass it because its'
clunky
to work with and I need a simpler form. Anybody have one they are
willing
to share????
Brian
