HELP!... SQL Log Gone. How do I recover Database

As the subject says...
I will admit to some stupidity. I inadvertently deleted
the log file.
On top of that, it appears my backups have failed, so no
back up.
Data file still exists.
Please tell me there is a way to recover.
Thanks in advance.
SvenI would give MS PSS a call if it's important to get it back.

database by using "sp_attach_db" coomand.
Look in BOL, for syntax and more info. Its very easy.
Good Luck!

>|||Since you have only data file, use this syntax
Example:
EXEC sp_attach_db @.dbname = 'pubs',
'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\pubs.mdf'
SQL Server will automatically attach a new log file.
Good Luck!
