Is there any way to copy database structure without data in MySQL, so the new database will be the same as it is copied from, but with empty tables.
After getting some suggestions I tried the command, but I am getting syntax error, my username = root and password = nothing. I guess the default one. I am trying following command,
mysqldump -u root -p -d xyz_db | mysql -u root -p -Dnew_db
what I am missing or misplacing in command?
mysqldump -u user -ppass -d olddb | mysql -u user -ppass -D newdb
The new database must already exist. The -d flag in the mysqldump command prevents copying of data.
There's no space between the flag -p and the password.
