How to generate the DDL for all tables in a database of MySQL at once. I know that the following query will output the DDL for a table. But I want DDL of all tables at once because I am having hundreds of tables in my database.
show create table <database name>.<table name>;
For example:
show create table projectdb.customer_details;
The above query will result in DDL of customer_details
table.
I am using MySQL with MySQL workbench on Windows OS.
You can do it using the mysqldump command line utility:
mysqldump -d -u <username> -p<password> -h <hostname> <dbname>
The -d
option means "without data".
