KV for key-value, SQL for SQL, written together because in this database they aren&rsquo;t two systems glued side by side. They&rsquo;re two ways into one store.</p> <p>The lower-case v is on purpose. Kv reads as one small syllable in front of the three letters everybody knows, and it keeps the name from turning into a row of capitals. Say it &ldquo;K-V-S-Q-L&rdquo;, or &ldquo;kv sequel&rdquo; if you prefer; both are fine.</p>
