Hello,

Thank you for reading this. I am faced with a problem where there is no storage of deleted or updated information in an OLTP DB. I am mostly concerned about retrieving the deleted data from a table when an update occurs so as to make the deleted data show as an error. Is there a way to retrieve these kind of data from a DB, if so how? Can these data be retrieved by dates? Also how much time do you have before the data can no longer be retrieved? Assuming that the data can be retrieved.

I know the good stuff about datawarehousing but unfortunately we have no DW. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I don't understand what you want, but once the data has been deleted the only way to get it back is to perform a restore or purchase a third party tool to read the tlog backup file.
