Open the database as per normal with sqlite3_open(). Then issue the SQL
commands necessary to create your schema. I have a nice little utility I
wrote which will take an SQLite schema dump and convert it to an array of
C strings that you can issue in sequence (and thanks to Microsoft for the
technique).
I've included the utility which converts an SQL export to C code. I'll
let you work out the details for the rest.

/* Create a C module which will return an array of strings, one for each
* of the SQL statements in the passed file name
*
* This program runs on the SQL dumps/scripts produced by most SQL databases.
* It's only requirement is that each statement ends with a semicolon (';').
* This rules out SQL Server, which terminates a statement with GO on a line
* by itself. It should be a pretty easy adaptation though if such a feature
* is needed.
*
* Comments and empty lines are ignored.
* Lines with text are added to the array with a newline appended and
* any single or double quotes escaped.
* Lines which have a semi-colon cause a new array entry to be created
