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

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。

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。

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

这是一个基于游标的解决方案。有点长，但可以作为单个SQL批处理:

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `drop_all_tables`;

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `drop_all_tables`()
BEGIN
    DECLARE _done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
    DECLARE _tableName VARCHAR(255);
    DECLARE _cursor CURSOR FOR
        SELECT table_name 
        FROM information_schema.TABLES
        WHERE table_schema = SCHEMA();
    DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET _done = TRUE;

    OPEN _cursor;

    REPEAT FETCH _cursor INTO _tableName;

    IF NOT _done THEN
        SET @stmt_sql = CONCAT('DROP TABLE ', _tableName);
        PREPARE stmt1 FROM @stmt_sql;
        EXECUTE stmt1;
        DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt1;
    END IF;

    UNTIL _done END REPEAT;

    CLOSE _cursor;

END$$

DELIMITER ;

call drop_all_tables(); 

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `drop_all_tables`;

从http://www.devdaily.com/blog/post/mysql/drop-mysql-tables-in-any-order-foreign-keys:

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
drop table if exists customers;
drop table if exists orders;
drop table if exists order_details;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;

(注意，这回答了如何禁用外键检查，以便能够以任意顺序删除表。它没有回答如何为所有现有的表自动生成drop-table语句，并在一个脚本中执行它们。Jean的回答是。)

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
