这是一个基于游标的解决方案。有点长，但可以作为单个SQL批处理:

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `drop_all_tables`;

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `drop_all_tables`()
BEGIN
    DECLARE _done INT DEFAULT FALSE;
    DECLARE _tableName VARCHAR(255);
    DECLARE _cursor CURSOR FOR
        SELECT table_name 
        FROM information_schema.TABLES
        WHERE table_schema = SCHEMA();
    DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET _done = TRUE;

    OPEN _cursor;

    REPEAT FETCH _cursor INTO _tableName;

    IF NOT _done THEN
        SET @stmt_sql = CONCAT('DROP TABLE ', _tableName);
        PREPARE stmt1 FROM @stmt_sql;
        EXECUTE stmt1;
        DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt1;
    END IF;

    UNTIL _done END REPEAT;

    CLOSE _cursor;

END$$

DELIMITER ;

call drop_all_tables(); 

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `drop_all_tables`;

简单明了(可能)。

也许不是一个很好的解决方案，但这对我很有效，帮了我大忙。

服务版本:5.6.38 MySQL Community Server (GPL)

我遵循的步骤:

 1. generate drop query using concat and group_concat.
 2. use database
 3. disable key constraint check
 4. copy the query generated from step 1
 5. enable key constraint check
 6. run show table

下面是修改后的SurlyDre的存储过程，这样外键就被忽略了:

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `drop_all_tables`;

不从SQL复制返回值的一步解决方案选择使用过程的查询。

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1000000;

SET @TABLES = NULL;
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT('`', table_schema, '`.`', table_name,'`') INTO @TABLES FROM information_schema.tables 
  WHERE table_schema = 'databaseName';

SET @TABLES = CONCAT('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ', @TABLES);

PREPARE stmt FROM @TABLES;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

SET SESSION group_concat_max_len = 1024;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1

基于@Dion Truter和@Wade Williams的回答，下面的shell脚本将删除所有表，首先显示它将要运行的内容，并让您有机会使用Ctrl-C中止。

#!/bin/bash

DB_HOST=xxx
DB_USERNAME=xxx
DB_PASSWORD=xxx
DB_NAME=xxx

CMD="mysql -sN -h ${DB_HOST} -u ${DB_USERNAME} -p${DB_PASSWORD} ${DB_NAME}"

# Generate the drop statements
TMPFILE=/tmp/drop-${RANDOM}.sql
echo 'SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;' > ${TMPFILE}
${CMD} $@ >> ${TMPFILE} << ENDD
    SELECT concat('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS \`', table_name, '\`;')
    FROM information_schema.tables
    WHERE table_schema = '${DB_NAME}';
ENDD
echo 'SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1;' >> ${TMPFILE}

# Warn what we are about to do
echo
cat ${TMPFILE}
echo
echo "Press ENTER to proceed (or Ctrl-C to abort)."
read

# Run the SQL
echo "Dropping tables..."
${CMD} $@ < ${TMPFILE}
echo "Exit status is ${?}."
rm ${TMPFILE}
