Popular in America, but not elsewhere.

I also never heard it. In Brazil I only have heard SQL pronunced as sequel in NoSQL. SQLite is mostly pronounced S-Q-Light here, with the S and Q in Portuguese (weird, but it happens often)

In the US, I also say S-Q-Light.

Weird, I thought this was settled years ago, and it's obviously sequel. I guess we all live in our own echo chambers

Guilty as charged. Pronouncing letters and numbers in English requires an active mental effort for me, so that happens if I'm not paying attention. I guess it's because they don't really register as another language, even with context. My inner monologue also does letters and numbers in Portuguese, which doesn't help either.
