For all MS SQL Gurus :( please advice

Hi guys,
we has accidently restored our Database with a back up file created months ago. we have no back up for the huge data and Stored procedures ( I know it is very stupid :( and i m sad abt it all ), guys is there any way by which i can get restore my db back to what it was before restoration.
the flks in team have also deleted(shift + delete) the transaction log file ( I know it is very stupid again :( and i m very sad abt it all )..
please advice
Thanx in advance

There are a few ways of doing this ...
1) Go to your off-drive backups (tape, CDs, etc) and restore the latest version
2) Restore the Stored Procedures from your SCM, but deal with the data
3) Use a time machine to go back in time and prevent that from ever happening.
If all three do not work, then as you guessed, you are screwed. Let it be an expensive lesson in regular backups and SCM for your code. And investing in a time machine.

|||If this database is critical, immediately cease all activity on that server until you decide what you are going to do.

Personally I have no experience at all with such utilities, but you might consider something like this:

And here's a review for the product at SQL Server Central (it's a freeregistration to read the article; great site, I recommend registering)
