In order to take the dump of a database table structure you can use the option “-d” of mysqldump.
The syntax is given below.
$ mysqldump -u USERNAME -p -d DATABASENAME –tables TABLENAME1 TABLENAME2 > FILENAME.sql
Replace the USERNAME, DATABASENAME, TABLENAME, FILENAME with the original one.
You can verify the file for the table structures.
$ more FILENAME.sql
