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 Wiley
I 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.

damn dude...sounds like the time my dumb ass reformatted my HDD after backing up everything but that one important directory that had the source files for the images I was working on...sounds just like that...except important.
Sorry, dude

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.
