 * Heloo,
    1.see if theres a way to restore the database to an earlier point, like
   a windows restore fr example. Would restoring windows entirely to an earlier 
   point solve the problem? 2.This depends on what features are made available by
   your hosting service. If you can access the MySQL server directly (typically 
   through port 3306) then you can use a visual client that you install on your 
   computer, connect to the database, and do all your table creation and site maintenance
   in a visual environment. Many of these are free. I highly recommend SQLYog. If
   you have shell access, and you don’t mind memorizing commands and doing some 
   typing, then you can log into your account via a shell client and interact with
   the server that way. This can be especially convenient if you feel comfortable
   setting up automated scripts for certain tasks, like backup for example. A good
   and free client that can also connect to a shell account via a secure, encrypted
   connection is Putty. Finally, if you do go the PHPMyAdmin route, be extra careful
   to read ALL the documentation, because if it’s not configured correctly, there
   will be some security loopholes, and you run the risk of having hackers playing
   with your database. 3.Xampp will have phpmyadmin installed.
 * Type
 * [http://localhost/phpmyadmin](http://localhost/phpmyadmin) (or whatever phpmyadmin
   is named in your configuration) into your web browser
    Log into phpmyadmin with
   your username and password. This will connect you to mysql. Choose databases.
   In the tabs along the top you will see one for imports. Browse to the sql file
   and hit go. All should import. If there are any problems with the import it may
   be because client version of phpmyadmin may be too low for the sql file being
   imported in which case you will have to run sql file directly from a command 
   line in the mysql client itself. 4.Contact your host, and play on their sympathy.
   Explain what you did, you feel like a fool, blah blah blah and ask if there is
   anyway they can restore that table for you. They can do it – providing they have
   backups. Problem is they may want to charge you a nice fee.
 * Hope help
