How to Undo Dropping a Table in Oracle SQL

How to Undo Dropping a Table in Oracle SQL

Have you dropped a table by mistake and want to restore it? In some cases you can.

Let’s say you’ve run this statement:

DROP TABLE yourtable; 

Now, you want to get the employee table back.

You can run the FLASHBACK statement to do this.

FLASHBACK TABLE yourtable TO BEFORE DROP; 

Your table will then be restored and you can run queries on it.
