Recovering from -createtables
While working through migrating our development RTC server from 1.0.1 to 2.0 the command repotools -createtables was ran against the database causing the database to be wiped of data. Unfortunately no one requested this db to be backed up. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to recover from the -createtables command, with a degree of difficulty of 'without a backup'.
BTW, I could not get the search engine here to return any results on 'createtables'. Thanks in advance, -Derry |

I'll take it as 'no way' since there have been no replies. It's what I expected, but was hoping maybe somebody knew of a trick or something.

Unfortunately there is no way to recover the data present in the database.

As you suspected, I think you have lost the data. You may want to double-check with your DBA's about this - or check with DB vendor in case there is a way to do this. If you have source code on client machines, you may want to get the users to go into their Eclipse client workspace directories, copy out all the source files (as a backup) - and then try and disconnect and reconnect the project from source code control (once you have a 2.0 server up and running). At least you would potentially save your current source code. anthony |
