How to export the table structure of a MySQL database?

In MySQL, you can export the database table structure using the following methods:

1. To export table structures using command line tools, you can use the mysqldump command. Open command prompt or terminal and execute the following command:
2. Create a backup of the database without including the data using the command mysqldump -u username -p –no-data database_name > output_file.sql
3. username is the database username, database_name is the name of the database whose table structure is to be exported, and output_file.sql is the name of the exported file. After executing the command, the system will prompt for the password. Once the password is entered, a SQL file containing the database table structure will be generated.
4. Using MySQL Workbench:
   MySQL Workbench is a graphical interface MySQL database management tool, where you can easily export the database table structure. Simply open MySQL Workbench, connect to the database, select the desired database, right-click on it, and choose the “Export” option. In the export dialog, go to the “Export Objects” tab, select the tables and object types to export, such as tables, views, etc. Finally, choose the path and name for the export file, then click the “Start Export” button. MySQL Workbench will generate an SQL file containing the selected table structures.

Regardless of the method used, the exported SQL file will contain the table creation statements.
