[development] no DROP TABLE in sql files

I use a simple one-liner for deleting the Drupal database:

  mysql drupal -e "SHOW TABLES" | awk '{print "DROP TABLE "$1";"}'
    | tail +2 | mysql drupal

That prints out every table in the "drupal" database, adds a "DROP 
TABLE" prefix, and then pipes it back into MySQL. After that, it's just 
a simple matter of "mysql drupal < database/database.mysql", and I'm 
back to square one, WITHOUT having to reset MySQL authentication (or the 
settings.php). It's worked well enough in everyday usage.
