dumping mysql database ignoring some tables

Mysql comes with a handy tool for dumping database, like from remote server to local machine or vice versa.
Sometimes you might want to dump some tables but not the other here you go!

mysqldump -h[HOST] -u[USERNAME] --port=[PORT] -p --ignore [ignoretablename] databasename > databasename.sql

The database.sql would contain all the schema + data.
Then import it as

mysql -h[host] -u[username] -p databasename < databasename.sql

You can provide -p[password] or if you leave it as -p you would be prompted for password later which is a cool way to proceed.
ENJomYsql!
