How to "undo" a delete with cascades

Hello,

Somebody accidently deleted a record with cascade deletes
and took out about 80 records.

The database has been used heavily since then.

How do I put back the data?

I have spent hours researching BOL and all I can find
is how to restore the database to a point in time.

But that will lose all the work done after the mistake.

(We do a full backup every week and log backup every day)

Is there a standard way to do this?

Hello, Morgan

Restore the backup on another server (or as another database on the
same server) and then copy the missing rows (using a query that
accesses the linked server).

Yes, if you have bought one of those log-viewer tools, that offers
this function (by reading the transaction log, and from that generates
a script.) Check out http://www.lumigent.com and http://www.logpi.com
for two offerings.

Ok here's the thing... I have a vBulletin forum database... there is a table in there called "post" which has all of my forums posts in it. What I have are many posts with regular titles like "Oh hello how are you" or whatever, and many posts (which are replies) with "Re:" before them and whatever message following that.

Hi, I have a form with unbound fields on it. The user selects a record from a recordset and I populate the unbound fields. When I try to change the unbound quantity text box, Access 2003 tells me "The data has been changed. Another user edited this record and saved the changes before you attempted to save your changes. Re-edit the record." This does not always happen. And yes, I can re-edit the quantity text

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
