Surprisingly the Data Export in the MySql Workbench is not just for data  in fact it is ideal for generating SQL scripts for the whole database  including views  stored procedures and functions  with just a few clicks  If you want just the scripts and no data simply select the  Skip table data  option  It can generate separate files or a self contained file  Here are more details about the feature  http   dev mysql com doc workbench en wb-mysql-connections-navigator-management-data-export html
