a SQL vs an SQL

Both 'a SQL' and 'an SQL' are commonly used in English. The choice between 'a' and 'an' depends on how the acronym 'SQL' is pronounced. If it is pronounced as 'sequel' (starting with a consonant sound), then 'a SQL' is correct. If it is pronounced as 'ess-cue-ell' (starting with a vowel sound), then 'an SQL' is correct.
