Hey all, by mistake I have deleted the database. I didn't have any record for this, I need that deleted database. If its not too much trouble to get it back, please provide best insights. It would be grateful if you give a best suggestion... Thanks

    How was it deleted (SQL command within the DBMS, deleting files/directories via OS commands, or something else)?

    Did you have any backup procedure in place beforehand?

      mysql> create database DO_NOT_DELETE_THIS_DATABASE_OR_I_WILL_KILL_YOU ( characteristics );

      This , yes ... this 🙂

        It's good practice with a database to make sure that it gets backed up periodically -- typically using the mysqldump CLI utility that comes with it. Maybe there's a backup file somewhere?

          Yeah of course but I didn't remember any backup file...

            If you had looked into the mysqldump utility and made a backup, you would 😉
