Re: Fastest Informix DBA Contest II - Important Correction

Folks, I really made a mistake here and I apologize for it. In reviewing the logs to send to folks I discovered two entries I did not run. Tatian Salykova had sent in the entry on 9/11 and I missed it, so I ran it yesterday and it is the fastest by 5 seconds. This was completely my mistake and I take full responsible for not running it. The other entry run successfully, but not any faster then the top 7 we have already announced. I re-ran Eric's and Warren's entries again to confirm that it was not a system thing that caused it to run faster and their times where within a second of before. Congratulations to Tatian Salykova, New 1st place finisher in the Fastest Informix DBA contest. I really appreciate your participation in this contest. Since I made the mistake I am not going to take away the prize from Eric but will present Tatian Salykova an additional grand prize. Again, I apologize for this.
