不从SQL复制返回值的一步解决方案选择使用过程的查询。

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1000000;

SET @TABLES = NULL;
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT('`', table_schema, '`.`', table_name,'`') INTO @TABLES FROM information_schema.tables 
  WHERE table_schema = 'databaseName';

SET @TABLES = CONCAT('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ', @TABLES);

PREPARE stmt FROM @TABLES;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1024;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1

基于@Dion Truter和@Wade Williams的回答，下面的shell脚本将删除所有表，首先显示它将要运行的内容，并让您有机会使用Ctrl-C中止。

#!/bin/bash

DB_HOST=xxx
DB_USERNAME=xxx
DB_PASSWORD=xxx
DB_NAME=xxx

CMD="mysql -sN -h ${DB_HOST} -u ${DB_USERNAME} -p${DB_PASSWORD} ${DB_NAME}"

# Generate the drop statements
TMPFILE=/tmp/drop-${RANDOM}.sql
echo 'SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;' > ${TMPFILE}
${CMD} $@ >> ${TMPFILE} << ENDD
    SELECT concat('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS \`', table_name, '\`;')
    FROM information_schema.tables
    WHERE table_schema = '${DB_NAME}';
ENDD
echo 'SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;' >> ${TMPFILE}

# Warn what we are about to do
echo
cat ${TMPFILE}
echo
echo "Press ENTER to proceed (or Ctrl-C to abort)."
read

# Run the SQL
echo "Dropping tables..."
${CMD} $@ < ${TMPFILE}
echo "Exit status is ${?}."
rm ${TMPFILE}

下面是一种通过bash脚本自动做到这一点的方法:

host=$1
dbName=$2
user=$3
password=$4

if [ -z "$1" ]
then
    host="localhost"
fi

# drop all the tables in the database
for i in `mysql -h$host -u$user -p$password $dbName -e "show tables" | grep -v Tables_in` ; do  echo $i && mysql -h$host -u$user -p$password $dbName -e "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0; drop table $i ; SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1" ; done

只是一个温馨的提醒，

如果可能并且没有其他问题，您可以删除数据库并重新创建它。

删除数据库<database_name> 创建数据库<database_name>

简单明了(可能)。

也许不是一个很好的解决方案，但这对我很有效，帮了我大忙。

服务版本:5.6.38 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

我遵循的步骤:

 1. generate drop query using concat and group_concat.
 2. use database
 3. disable key constraint check
 4. copy the query generated from step 1
 5. enable key constraint check
 6. run show table
