Restore the database from the backups.
If you dont have the backup, then your database is lost.

That is right, But i am asking any sql server specific tool (third party) which can recover data which is deleted accidently,like tools available to retrive data deleted from recyclebin....Any idea...

Once your database is deleted, your .mdf and .ldf files get deletd from your server. I am not aware of any tools that can get your database back if you have deleted it and the database does not have a backup.

In theory it could be restored I think. There are some tools on NET which could recover your deleted files. I remember when I'd run such utility once, it recovered many files which were deleted about two years ago. So if you could recover *.ldf and *.mdf files, maybe you could restore your db. Of course if there hadn't been written any new information on that disk space, where your db files were previously recorded. This is time and resources consuming proccess. More info you can find on the net. This is only my opinion, maybe others have more suggestions...

I can't remember exactly it's name, but I can post it after couple hours later when I'll be at home. It was a year ago, so I don't remember. It's huge program about 200-300MB. Once my disk partinions were deleted and the disk formating proccess have just begun when I turned off my pc. Then I used this tool to recover some valuable my docs from the disk..
Try to google for more info. I believe that there you could find more info and advices refering to that problem. You can type "file recovery" and explore search results. one of them:

If you're going to try this, it is extremely important not to write anything to the disk that the database files were on. If the files were on the c:\ drive, it may already be too late since Windows can write stuff all over the disk. But if they were on separate partitions, and you haven't written anything new onto the disks, you stand a pretty good chance of recovering.

Just one question.
If you recover the .mdf and .ldf files, how would you re-attach them?

You can either use this stored proc:
-- =============================================
-- Attach database via sp_attach_db
-- =============================================
EXECUTE sp_attach_db @dbname = N'',
@filename1 = N'',
@filename2 = N''
GO
Or attach database via enterprise manager.

the HTML parser twisted the stored proc a little. From BOL:
EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = N'pubs',
@filename1 = N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\pubs.mdf',
@filename2 = N'c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\pubs_log.ldf'
