disaster recovery scenario which i have faced, deleted the database directory

[samana srikanth]

Hi All

I have accidentally deleted the database directory under the mysql data directory of a database, i have taken the dump backup of this database before.

this database contains some innodb databases.

and now i am unable to drop these database or create the database so that i can use the dump to restore it.

How to recover from this scenario

in the my.cnf file

i have put this option
---------------------------
innodb_file_per_tables is ON
--------------------------

Thanks
Srikanth
