:D well thankfully it's a MyIsam table not InnoDB!

Please tell me how do I recover my data from it? I'll be very very happy ^^

 

And I was doing a lot of work on my database, I had to delete some stuff, and I meant to replace the delete with a select but I left it by mistake :(

That file you referred to is InnoDB... as for MyISAM, there isn't really proper undelete:

 

No. This is not possible. When a record is deleted, the start of each of its parts ("blocks") is overwritten with linkage information. All deleted parts of all records make a link or chain.

 

Hence the records cannot be restored in full.

 

In theory one could write a utility that follows the delete link. It could extract all non-overwritten parts of the records. They will even be in correct order. But it would be impossible to automatically determine where each record ends. That information was located at the start of the first part of a record, where it is now overwritten. Also it would be difficult to guess where each column starts when the start of the record is missing.

However, you might want to check this out if you happen to be lucky enough to only use fixed length columns.

 

HTH.
