Most people I know, myself included, pronounce it that way. But Richard Hipp, the creator of SQLite, actually pronounces it SQL-ite, like a mineral.

Surprised you didn't say he pronounces it SQL-ite like an animal


"Esqueuellite, like a mineral" is D. Richard Hipp's phrasing.


Yep, it's a direct quote I remembered from the Changelog Podcast #201 "Why SQLite succeeded as a database" starting at timestamp 15:58

It seems there is no universal agreement so you can pronounce which way you want. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/431329/what-is-t...


Why not "sklite"? Monosyllabic - lite, ya know.
