URGENT! Is it possible to undelete a MySQL database?

The subject says it all. A database was deleted by mistake and a lot of work was put into it since the last backup. Is it possible to retreive the lost data (please?)

MySQL is running on Linux

maybe you can try a hard disk data recovery  software or company but there's not an easy task...

Running under NetWare, this would be trivial.  With *nix (or windoze, for that matter),  it's quite a bit more difficult.  Sorry I can't be on specific help...
Do you have log files?

Thanks for those links. I only wish I could have gotten ahold of them three days ago. I'm still going to download it and try, but the files are surely gone by now (I cant stop usage of the server and new files were being created daily, plus the attempts to reconstruct the deleted database).

This would be good to have in the future anyway...
