Pole mzee. You cannot roll back a transaction unless you executed the update statement within the context of a transaction. Your best bet is to rollback to a previous backup. You *DO* backup, don't you? In the future run your queries like this *BEGIN TRAN* * * *Update table set blah = blah blah* If you make a mess in the update statement simply type and execute *rollback* On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 10:08 AM, Calvin Omari <calvinebarongo@gmail.com>wrote:
