[Resolved] Recover Recently Deleted Data

[aaron_karp]

Uhhmmmm I just deleted the wrong thing from my database, using DELETE FROM table WHERE id=whatever LIMIT 1;

And it would be really nice if I could get it back.

Any ideas?

its not easy, esp from a database since they are binary files. pull the drive out as soon as possible before the drive changes too many times. then you need to send it to a data recovery specialist and they charge big fees. if it is that important than it could be worth it but if you only lost one record, then you may have to live with it.

Haha yeah - it definitely looks like I'll just have to live with it. Thanks though.
