PhpMyAdmin:
If you use MySQL it is easy to do through a browser using PhpMyAdmin. If 
you are talking about all tables in a Typo3 installation then you have 
the PhpMyAdmin present all ready in your backend.
  - I guess this is not the answer you are looking for since it is to 
obviously

If you need to make a script:
Make a dump of the database. Edit the scipt so all CREATE and INSERT's 
are deleted. Then you will end up with a script containing DROP commands 
for all existing tables :-)
