在php中，它很简单:

$pdo = new PDO('mysql:dbname=YOURDB', 'root', 'root');

$pdo->exec('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0');

$query = "SELECT concat('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ', table_name, ';')
          FROM information_schema.tables
          WHERE table_schema = 'YOURDB'";

foreach($pdo->query($query) as $row) {
    $pdo->exec($row[0]);
}

$pdo->exec('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1');

只需要记住将YOURDB更改为数据库的名称，当然还有user/pass。

从给定数据库中删除所有表的一行代码:

echo "DATABASE_NAME"| xargs -I{} sh -c "mysql -Nse 'show tables' {}| xargs -I[] mysql -e 'SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0; drop table []' {}"

运行此命令将删除数据库DATABASE_NAME中的所有表。

这样做的一个好处是，数据库名称只显式地写入一次。

你可以:

select concat('drop table if exists ', table_name, ' cascade;')
  from information_schema.tables;

然后运行生成的查询。它们将删除当前数据库中的每一个表。

下面是删除表命令的一些帮助。

此解决方案基于@SkyLeach答案，但支持删除带外键的表。

echo "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;" > ./drop_all_tables.sql
mysqldump --add-drop-table --no-data -u user -p dbname | grep 'DROP TABLE' >> ./drop_all_tables.sql
echo "SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;" >> ./drop_all_tables.sql
mysql -u user -p dbname < ./drop_all_tables.sql

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

我对Dion Truter的答案进行了修改，使它更容易使用许多表格:

SET GROUP_CONCAT_MAX_LEN = 10000000;
SELECT CONCAT('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;\n', 
              GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `', table_name, '`')
                           SEPARATOR ';\n'),
              ';\nSET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1;')
FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_schema = 'SchemaName';

这将在一个字段中返回全部内容，因此您可以复制一次并删除所有表(在Workbench中使用复制字段内容(不带引号))。如果有很多表，可能会遇到GROUP_CONCAT()的一些限制。如果是这样，增加max len变量(如果需要，还有max_allowed_packet)。
