I can't see the "select tables" command exists, although "tables" is a
table with all the tables list. Anyway, you can try something like this:

$ for table in $(mysql mydb1 -Bse 'show tables'); do mysqldump mydb1 $table>$table.sql; done

or using xargs,

$ mysql mydb1 -Bse 'show tables'|xargs -I TAB mysqldump mydb1 TAB -r TAB.sql

which produce both the same result.
