Actually as I understand it (and a couple of minutes Googling doesn't back up my case) the "lite" on the end is pronounced "ite" and refers more to SQL as a geology like term. In other words, the SQL is a rock.

Even if that was what the name was intended to be, the vast majority of people pronounce it as SQL - lite. (In fact, this is the first I've heard of someone pronouncing it that way).

The documentation seems to suggest that it is in fact pronounced "SQL-lite": https://www.sqlite.org/fullsql.html

> Don't be misled by the "Lite" in the name.
