Nothing. Unfortunately, onbar has a point-in-time restore capability, and a
restore aparticular dbspace capability, but not both. The only way (assuming no
other copies
of the table, exports, etc) to get the table back is to point in time restore to
just before
you dropped the table. Of course, any other changes since then are lost, too.
I've
heard point-in-time for a particular dbspace is coming, but not quickly enough
to help you.
Sorry.
