Solution

  • This was answered, as well as can be done, in How can I import a database schema into MS Access 2003 from sql text file? The process is cumbersome, and does not lend itself well to automation.

    A possible more practical solution is to use a command line tool and run the DDL as a script. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/JET_Database/Manipulation_tools for a list of tools (unchecked).

    The JetSQLConsole command line tool at SourceForce is current and can implement what you require.
