Simple PHP script, that creates a dump of Magento DB with smaller footprint ... the script just excludes the data some of the log tables, but keep the the schema of these tables.
<?php

$dumpSchema .= '-p' . $db['pass'] . ' ';
$dumpSchema .= '-h ' . $db['host'] . ' ';
$dumpSchema .= $db['name'] .' > ' . $sqlFileName;
return $dumpSchema;
