如何在不丢弃数据库本身的情况下删除数据库中的所有表？

Question

I would like to delete all the tables from database, but not deleting the database itself. Is it possible ? I'm just looking for shorter way than removing the database and create it again. Thanks !

Answer 1

The shortest is to re-create database. but if you don't want to...

This is for MySQL/PHP. Not tested but something like that.

$mysqli = new mysqli("host", "my_user", "my_password", "database");
$mysqli->query('SET foreign_key_checks = 0');
if ($result = $mysqli->query("SHOW TABLES"))
{
    while($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM))
    {
        $mysqli->query('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS '.$row[0]);
    }
}

$mysqli->query('SET foreign_key_checks = 1');
$mysqli->close();
