Get data back after drop Command

От

Dear all,

Today by mistake I issued a drop table statement in Postgresql database.
Now is it possible to get that data back through WAL.
My PostgresPLus Version : 8.4
OS : Linux ( CentOs )

My postgresql.conf parameters are :

# WRITE AHEAD LOG
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Settings -

fsync = on             synchronous_commit = on       wal_sync_method = fsync                  full_page_writes = on          wal_buffers = 64kB   wal_writer_delay = 200ms commit_delay = 0      commit_siblings = 5   checkpoint_segments = 32
checkpoint_timeout = 5min       checkpoint_completion_target = 0.5   checkpoint_warning = 30s      archive_mode = on
archive_command = ''      archive_timeout = 0            
Please let me know the steps needed to get data back or ways to do.
Below is the list of files in my pg_xlog directory.

Thanks

If you were doing Point In Time Recovery (PITR) backups, you could
restore your last base backups and recover using WAL files up to just
before the table was dropped:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-PITR-RECOVERY

The empty archive_command suggests that you're not doing proper PITR
style backups, so it appears the answer to your question is "No."

There is a chance that an expert might still be able to recover some
of the data.  That's likely to be time-consuming and expensive, but
if the table is not backed up and has sufficient value to you, it
might be worth it.

Thanks for your post. Sometimes i apply small changes to live
database. your accident warns me that recovery from backup is long and
not happy.
