cutomers LIVE DB (about 150 thounsand record) we have feild called bookId by
, and there is an urgent change to bookid number for books due to some
criteria from manager so i a have to change the bookid 252 to -1 to indicate
that is not available but by fault i make the following sql statent (UPDATE
BOOKS SET BOOKID = -1) without the where statment so I destryed my life and

and all subsequent log backups. For the very last log backup (the one you just performed), you would
use the STOPAT option for the restore command to stop just before the accident.
Since you are in bulk logged mode, whether you can do point in time restore for the last log backup
depend on whether you have performed any minimally logged operations. If such have been done, no
point in time.
See the article I posted and Books Online for more information.
Also, a log reader program can be useful (again see my articles).
