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
