For some reason I always have pronounced it "my ess queue ell", even though I never knew how to say it.

Mostly everyone I work with also pronounces it sequel. I am guilty of saying sequel also, so I looked on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL

ANSI has declared that the official pronunciation for SQL is "ess kyoo ell", although many English-speaking database professionals still pronounce it as sequel.

the reason people call it sequel is that was what how it was pronouced originally SEQUEL stands for Structured English Query Language. A revision called SEQUEL\2 was created which was renamed to SQL. So technically "ess kyoo ell" is correct but in the IT profession nearly everyone reffers to it as sequel still.
