The situation is that I deleted rows from the database and now they are wanted back.
There are no binary logs, and no backup.
But as I know records are not deleted instantly, they’re just marked as ‘deleted’, but they’re actually deleted only after next optimisation.
And I have just copied all the database files into safe places: frms, MIYs and MYDs. I know the structure of table I’m interested in; I can even find all deleted row ids.
Is there any tool to recover recently deleted rows?
If you happen to know the offset of the data (or know some unique string) for the rows you deleted, then go ahead an pop open a hex editor and copy the (binary) data by hand. If you do recover it all you’ll be extremely fortunate, and I hope you write up an article on it, because frankly I don’t believe this is possible.
