APM: perl or shell script to generate MySQL db

[Wayne Walker]

Something like this (i didn't check the syntax, read the man page if
this isn't right)

mysqldump -u root -p --no-data --all-tables mydatabase > mydatabase_skeleton_create.sql

on other machine

echo create database my_new_database | mysql  -u root -p

mysql  -u root -p my_new_database < mydatabase_skeleton_create.sql
