Oops! That's not correct. That only works on creating the database
not the table. But since this is only a text file, what you can do is
use whatever program you have available and change every occurrence of
CREATE TABLE to CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS. If someone sees a reason
why this won't work, please let me know.
