MySQL-Export schema without table data.

Question

I have a database in different server now I have to export table schema and also have to download it in my local .

If possible, please let me know the command for exporting table with data also.

Answer 1

You can use  --no-data option with mysqldump see

mysqldump -u root -p --no-data dbname > schema.sql

 

For backup use :  mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql  

 

For restore use : mysql -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] < dumpfilename.sql

 

Now you can do scp to your local like this :

 

scp [email protected]:/home/user/schema.sql .     (If using windows so please execute these commands on putty.) 

I hope it helped you!
