mysql dropped database.... can it be restored?
 

Hello,

I did something really newbie today and dropped a database without backing it up first... is it gone forever? :(

Thanks.

First step is to slap yourself in the head cause there's most likely a chance your not getting your database back without a backup. Unless you know or familiar with some forensic tools for recovery, depending on how important this database was, it's probably less hassle to start over and rebuild it.

WOW! Thank you for the lovely response.

Muchly appreciated. So glad I came here to ask!!!
