title: importing mysql structures only or restore ignoring non-existing tables and columns?
body: <p>I have 2 servers (1 for development, 1 for service)</p>
  
  <p>I keep ADD/DELETE columns and CREATE/DELETE Indexes on my development server, so these 2 server have similar but different mysql data structures.</p>
  
  <p>I know there's an option to expert structures only. (like –no-data)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way (except 3rd party software like mysqldiff.org) to import structure only to an existing data? </p>
  
  <p>Alternativley, is there a way to import only data ignoring non-existing tables and colums? 
  (I thought this may do the trick if I back-up data -> import structure -> restore the data.)</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
