accidentally deleted mysql database

Question

I was working with netbean's database explorer (services tab) and accidentally deleted one of the databases.

I was trying to connect to a database and there were 2 options in the context menu for connecting.

1)Connect 2)Delete

I accidentally hit delete. It did not even ask me for confirmation. Is there anyway to recover the database?

I don't have access to mysql server. I can just connect to the database using mysql workbench.

Thanks a ton!

If you have the binary logging enabled, then you might have a chance to use it to restore your database.
Else use an older backup and restore it !

To find binary logs status :

mysql> show variables like '%bin%';
