How do I create a table in SQL Server from a .sql? I see the query statements and the data to be inserted into the table but how do I create the actual tables?
If the statements to create the tables aren’t in the .sql file, then you will need to know their structure and create them, either by using a handwritten query, another .sql file or SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
In SSMS you can expand a database in the Object Explorer and then right click on “Tables” to select “New Table…” then you will get a UI for defining the columns you need.
With the context of your previous question you need to contact whoever supplied the .sql files and ask for a script to create the required tables. Or perhaps they should send you a copy(a backup) of the database.
