Argh. NEVER change a Jira database while it's running.

I'd be strongly tempted to go back to a backup, because there's a very good chance you've got the deletion wrong.

If you do use SQL on a Jira database, you MUST

  • Stop Jira
  • Back it up
  • Test the backup is valid
  • Run your SQL
  • Restart Jira
  • Re-index it

The best you can do at the moment is re-index it and hope you've got the SQL right enough that you haven't done too much damage. But hang on to the most recent backup - you might need it.

I'm not kidding about this - you can make such a mess of Jira with SQL. Seriously. Don't do it.
