I just realized I deleted a database.FUX0R!!!!!
No backup ..it's gone ..I'm starting data recovery, hopefully nothing was written onto those sectors. I realized it about a millisecond too late ...damn I hate when I blow it.

/me crosses his fingers for WileyI had a guy do that to a music store database the day I was setting up the backup server. Just thankfuly we had a partial backup .. he only had to re enter about 300 items and barcodes..

Um ...I hope you are not seriously suggesting that I failed to look in the recycle bin
/me checks recycle bin
Hey everybody ...it looks like the Data Recovery was a success!!!
I wish that were the case
I wrote the thing to a scratch drive on the network while I was testing some other stuff and deleted my scratch drive. No recycle bin. The database wasn't in production and wasn't in the backup routine but I had some live data in there.

I knew better Wiley.... was yanking ya chain. hehe on a network delete there is no recycle bin though .. except in older versions of novel there was like a dump que or something ... cant remember exactly.
Wish you could have saved it though. Pisses me off when I do things like that.

Update:Recovered an older version of the database with a data recovery tool I had on another drive ...I'm not quite sure why I could get the older one (which was removed in June) and not the one that was wiped out today. I didn't write anything to the drive before the recovery.
I'm missing a few hundred records, but at least it's something. Ontrack works pretty damn good for being a cheap ass data recovery tool.
