Log Analyzer 2.02 1 2 3 4 5 6

The Recover menu as seen below is the heart of the Log Analyzer and what makes this tool worth its weight in gold.  This will bring up a dialog box that allows you to specify the page and row number for the transaction you are interested in.

The recover menu will lead you to the same dialog as the File | Save menu and this is where the power of the Log Analyzer is displayed.  You'll notice row 27 in the syslogs view, is an insert that I did on the authors table.  This is contained on page 788, row 26 of my transaction log.  I need to fill this in as shown below.

Now, from here I can do three things.  I can create a file that contains an undo statement.  Since this was an insert, it will generate a delete statement as shown below.

If I wanted to generate a file that redoes this transaction, I will get my original insert statement back as shown below.
