There's a actually some info on this on Wikipedia,
"MySQL" is officially pronounced as "My Ess Queue Ell" /maɪ ɛs
kjuː ɛl/, not "My sequel" /maɪ siːkwəl/. However, the company
does not take issue with the pronunciation "My sequel" or other
local variations.

PostgreSQL's unusual-looking name makes some readers pause when
trying to pronounce it, especially those who pronounce SQL as
"sequel". PostgreSQL's developers pronounce it /poːst ɡɹɛs kjuː
ɛl/.
