How do I recover data from SQL Server's log files?

Dear All,

One of our employee made a mistake and deleted something from database.
I would like to recover that log file without restoring the backup and
the other log files. The reason I want to do this is our database is
getting real time information I cannot shut down the database. Is there
any way to do this please let me know and help me .

Kindly regards

LS

Restore the backup and log files somewhere else, then copy the
relevant data back into your production database?

You can acquire a log-reader tool like Red Gate's SQL Log Rescue or
Lumigent's Log Explorer. Red Gate appears to have a trial version, so
you could download and get rolling quickly.

Ed's suggestion of backing up the transaction log and restoring the database
elsewhere is also a good approach, if you have the disk space.

Hi, I'm trying to do a photo album with php. The admins should be able to write comments, descriptions etc. into the jpeg files via a web form. I tried to implement this with the (still undocumented) function iptcembed() and I didn't get it working properly. After hours of debugging I found the following note in php.notes: "This function currently only works for images that have IPTC data embedded in them already."

Hi. I am wondering if it is a good idea to replicate sql server db files using frs. I don't really know how the frs works, so does frs replicates the whole database from time to time or just the portion that is changed? Also if the db is expected to change very often, and wouldn't it make

Ugh, I suck at programming. Forgive me if this topic was covered before but I couldn't find it. I can't figure out the formula for deleting data in binary files. I understand that you should remove the data in question and then move the rest of the data back where the old data used to be, but how can I do this without choking the cpu? This is currently what is in my head, but I know that my cpu will hate this, if it would even work. ReDim...
