Congratulations Gail! I tried to leave a post on your website, http://sqlinthewild.co.za/, but couldn't for some reason. I've been following you for quite some time (you are one of my mentors!) and had to congratulate you on your accomplishments. You always provide very accurate, relevant advice and it's about time you were recognized for your talents and for the time you spend giving back to the community. A well deserved, if overdue, honor. And if I ever get to SA, I'm looking you up for a celebratory cocktail!!!! Keep up the great work.

I don't suppose the site threw a SQL error?

Congrats.

That's because you had a comma in the URL. Try this: http://sqlinthewild.co.za/

I could get to the site, just couldn't post anything. Doesn't matter as long as we recognize one of our own.....

Thanks everyone. It's an awesome feeling. My colleagues tell me I have been grinning like an idiot for the last 2 days

I do moderate comments, so it could be in the queue. I'll check now.
Please try again a bit later. If you get an error, you can mail it to me (gail@sqlinthewild.co.za) and I'll see what I can do. Or you can mail me the comment and I'll post it for you if nothing else works.

Thanks for the kind words. Are you going to be at PASS this year? If so, we'll get together for a drink there.

Seeing as it runs on MySQL, not that unlikely.
