Well - you'll probably need to wait until a developer can make a
suggestion to get your data back. However, I do know enough to say that
your data will still be there - so long as no further action takes place
you'll be alright.

You'll probably want to take a backup of your whole .../data/ directory
to be on the safe side. At a guess, it might be enough to rewind your
current transaction-id and pg_dump that table, but I'm really out of my
depth here.
