I guess having your back up against the wall doesn't count as a strategy?

"Accidentally i deleted half the tables from our application database. I need to restore/recover them in 4/5 hours else, i am will be out of this world !!..."
The OPs deadline is long past, so I wonder what happend to them?
Not sure what good an Employee Corruption forum would do. Seems like the answer would always be, "Don't do that!"

I accidentally deleted the whole company, Jim.
Death by Delete
http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Death-by-Delete.aspx
"...
One day, a developer was optimizing the database and removing records that MegaPetCo no longer needed. All it took was a single, poorly formed delete query to wipe out each and every row in the database table.
To say the developer panicked is akin to describing a quadruple amputation as a mere flesh wound. MegaPetCo's sales immediately ground to a halt. Along with everything else. Payroll, logistics, reporting, purchasing, you name it. Its Web site didn't work -- but that was the least of the company's worries. The status of its backups was bleaker still: None. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
...
...
Unfortunately, the single delete query proved to be far more than MegaPetCo could bear. Within a few months, the company filed for bankruptcy and was forced to close every one of its stores -- laying off several hundred people along the way."

MVJ - And how many times have we seen that?? I deleted my data and I don't have a backup - how do I get my data back???? Can you say "unemployment"????? Or even spell it? I have no pity for folks like that. Disgust, maybe, but zero sympathy......

That's been posted everywhere. SSC, here and now DBforums. Wouldn't be surprised to find it on the MSDN forums as well.
