How to find out the CREATE TABLE statement of a selected table.

The 'SHOW CREATE TABLE' command will show the CREATE TABLE statement of a selected table. It will be very helpful for the database backup actions.

SHOW CREATE TABLE `tablename`

It will return two colomns one is its table name and other is the 'CREATE TABLE' statement. 

CREATE TABLE `tablename` (
 `id` int(10) NOT NULL,
 `title` varchar(256) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

Hope this will helpful for someone !
