Here's a quick and dirty "3rd party" tool doing what you want. - minimal error checking - pay attention to the fact that the password is in the script - not the best/elegant/fastest coding After configuring db access and making the script executable, you call it e.g. like $ script > file_with_create_table_statements greetings joe === begin script === #!/usr/bin/perl # This quick'n'dirty (!!) script outputs the CREATE TABLE # statements of all tables in a mysql database use strict; use warnings; use DBI; # ADJUST $db to $password to your needs # my $dbh=DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:$db:$host:$port", $username, $password, {RaiseError=>1} ) or die "$0: $DBI::errstr"; } # get the list of tables into arrayref $tables # my $out=$dbh->prepare("show tables") or die; $out->execute or die; my $tables=$out->fetchall_arrayref; # output CREATE TABLE statement for every table # foreach my $t (@$tables) { my $out2=$dbh->prepare("show create table @{[ $t->[0] ]}") or die; $out2->execute or die; print $out2->fetchrow_array, ";\n"; } === end script === -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
