Assuming that you will create table only once, it is very difficult since you need to parse the columns and data types. The amount of effort is not worth for a one time thing. So, i would suggest you to create the table manually. If you are going to create a table dynamically everytime, i would be interested in how you did this or if you have made some progress i would be happy to help.
