Answer 1

$ mysqldump --no-data -u [username] -p[password] [database] > [location]
$ mysql -u [username] -p[password]
mysql > drop database [database]; create database [database];
mysql > exit;
$ mysql -u [username] -p[password] [database] < [location]

The --no-data switch preserves only the database table information, and will ignore all table data; you merely have to reimport the generated .sql file to regain all table information.
