To avoid such problems, I usually substitute a SELECT query using the desired conditional clause to see what records will be affected BEFORE executing the DELETE query. I hope it wasn't anything you can't recreate!
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
Real men do not care. They simply run the query. And then in middle of night they restore the backup that they did before running the query.

Let's hope the OP had a backup. :)

I meant to delete five rows from a table and wrote very quickly this
delete dbo.tblXYZ
where ID >= 116 or ID <= 120ended blowing the whole table away. Talk about blowing your feet off I know, I know it should have been
ANDnotOR, it is too late now. :-O UPDATE: I have a backup, but lost a hour worth of work...Yusuf May I help you?
You had backups of course? :)

Ummm, is "I didn't do it" an option? If not, run, run away.

what backup? Real men don't backup :doh: I do, but lost an hour worth of work, which is not bad considering the size of the table if I didn't backup
Yusuf May I help you?
