How did you lose them? I don't know about mySQL, but in general DELETE, INSERT and UPDATE are logged while DROP and TRUNCATE are not. If you do /not/ use auto commit /and/ did /not/ do commit, then you can use rollback to undo a delete/insert/update. Else you need to restore the database from the last backup.
