How do you refer to something like @@error (T-SQL) when speaking? Is it like "at at error" or do you just say what it actually holds/represents (the error number)?
is there any other way?

I don't tend to speak in SQL that much but "at at error" would be it if I were reading the code out aloud. Otherwise I'd speak in pseudo-code.

Completely with you there. I read it as S Q L but (mainly through peer-pressure from middle-management-types) pronounce it as Sequal, My Sequal, etc.

A few years ago, when I was 'bout 17, my manager at a computer shop told me that it wasn't pronounced Sequal, it was pronounced "Squirrel", and he said that's what it actually meant. Weird. I haven't been bothered to find out the truth, but I just say Sequal anyway. :)

You use BEGIN TRY and BEGIN CATCH blocks. =)

...hence the reason I've gotten by so long without saying @@error out loud :)
