LOL. Even with a SQL Log viewer finding what you need to reverse it is pretty tough! Yes you can go back and restore deletions done by a person from a .trn file. Other thing. Delete table will have a trasnsaction for all of those rows. Truncate table will not. :) Truncate table will reset the auto key generator for you as well. Delete will not. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cajidmylohsmph808fx2z_cwjngtci1tphfkus74zl5xjzy_...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
