You should have kind of admin panel where you can perform db admin functions. Some hosts have phpMyAdmin activated. In phpMyAdmin the erasing of the database is called "DROP". You DROP a table - that means you erase the table content and the table structure.

Probably your host has a FAQ section which some description how you can manage your database.

Why dont you just rerun the installer?
It wipes out all data in the tables before it adds it in anyway....

No, it does not.  Instead, it tries to make things work by not doing anything to already existing tables.
