mysql dump - exclude some table data

Question

Is it possible, using mysql dump to export the entire database structure, but exclude certain tables data from export.

Say the database has 200 tables, I wish to export

Answer 1

This will produce export.sql with structure from all tables and data from all tables excluding table_name

mysqldump --ignore-table=db_name.table_name db_name > export.sql
mysqldump --no-data db_name table_name >> export.sql
