I use Dreamweaver also to program my sites, but I think an easier way to achieve this would be this.... Goto your phpMyAdmin - select your appropriate database name, then in the SQL query window paste the contents of your insert.sql file which in this case is the following, CREATE TABLE comments ( COMMENT_ID int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, FIRST_NAME varchar(50) default NULL, LAST_NAME varchar(50) default NULL, TELEPHONE varchar(20) default NULL, EMAIL varchar(50) default NULL, SUBMIT_DATE datetime default NULL, COMMENTS longtext, ANSWERED tinyint(4) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (COMMENT_ID), KEY PRIMARY_KEY (COMMENT_ID) ) Press GO! and there you have it! the table "comments" will now be created for you with all the appropriate properties, i.e. varchar, int, longtext, etc... Thats the way I create my tables.... Surely though you could write your own script for creating tables from a web-form located locally on your workstation. Hope that helps.
