I am working on a document that includes a lot of abbreviations. I'm
wondering if the current way it is written is correct or not. The
previous writer wrote the following phrase: on an SQL Server...

My question is should it be an assuming that people read it as EsKuEl or
should be a assuming that people read it seaquil?

Thanks for the input.
