 Sorry, you'll need a backup. If your backup is not recent 
 enough and you
 have a binary log (e.g. for replication), you can use that 
 log to restore
 the database state.

If you have a backup and the update log since the last backup, you can
restore to any point in time from that back up to present, as well.  Comes
in handy when a member of the programming staff comes up and says, Can you
undo the 'DROP TABLE' I just did by mistake? ;)  This only works if you've
been running with the update log enabled, of course.

Big Mistake Need Help, can I undo an action I did?

2003-06-13 Thread jack ma
Hi guys,

I had updated a field for all the entries in a table
by mistake, I need to undo that step. I dont have the
database back up to an stisfactory level. Is there a
way in MySQL I can step one action back? or undo one
command that I just did??

Thanks a lot guys!?
