RE>a/an SQL Date:6/22/94
Regarding Glen Accardo's question about "a or an SQL":
I would write it as I speak it. I think most SQL users read the product name
as Sequel, which suggests that "a" is the appropriate article. I don't think
we need to consider general rules for pronunciation of acronyms in this case.
