Some people pronounce SQL as "sequel", and some as "squeal"

...But I've only ever heard SSL pronounced as its three letters. Why not like "Cecil"? Or "Sizzle"?

I've always pronounced it "sequel", but ever since I attended a talk by the authors of PHP and MySQL Web Programming, and they pronounced it Ess-Cue-Ell I've been second guessing myself.
What I remember attending a PHP event in ~2009 was one of the old veterans there saying:
Only Microsoft folks say "Sequel Server", we say "My S Q L"
I always pronounced it as ess-cue-ell but gave up on it when everyone in professional environments said "sequel".
