  I assume OP intended to force daytuh base, but I hear dada base fairly often. I don’t know if it’s more regional or more field related

    I say it either way depending on how I feel at that moment, because people around me use different pronunciations so they all sound fine.

  There’s no y in data or database. The only source of confusion is that Star Trek character weirdly dipthong-ing his name.
