For example, INFORMATION_SCHEMA contains all table names,comments etc. but where are the CREATE statements are stored in MySql ? can it be retrieved in one query for all tables ?

Currently i am retrieving TABLE ddl as below for 1 table. I have 100's of tables so i can repeat the same everytime which is time taking process

show create table row_format;

mysqldump -h localhost -u root -p --no-data --compact  some_db


mysqldump -d --compact --compatible=mysql323 ${dbname}|egrep -v "(^SET|^/\*\!)"

How do I use mysqldump to export only the CREATE TABLE commands
