Lots of people here calls it "Postgre", even something like "Postgree"
(Postgri in spanish). Others say "Postgre-S-Q-L". But the vast
majority uses plain "Postgres". I have yet to meet somebody who says
"Postgres-Q-L".
I think the pronunciation is really counter-intuitive. Not that it's
difficult to say; I think it's difficult to read.
