csvsql: is it possible to use a csvsql sql statement output to create a table (inferencing related)

Hi, sometimes the field inferencing does not work properly. An example I have is a field with this kind of value - 085232 - that becomes DECIMAL(38, 0) and it’s converted to 85232.

Then I modify

CREATE TABLE mytable (
	fieldone VARCHAR(27) NOT NULL, 
	`MYFIELD` DECIMAL(38, 0) NOT NULL, 
);

to

CREATE TABLE mytable (
	fieldone VARCHAR(27) NOT NULL, 
	`MYFIELD` VARCHAR(6) NOT NULL, 
);

For me it would be great to use csvsql to create a first version of sql statement, to edit it, and then to have have the opportunity to run something like:

# create the table if not exist
csvsql --db "mysql+pymysql://user:password@localhost/test" --create-if-not-exists --statement mystatement.sql
# insert the data in the table
csvsql --db "mysql+pymysql://user:password@localhost/test" --tables mytable --insert --overwrite --create-if-not-exists myfile.csv

Is there a way, using csvkit, to use a sql statement to create a table?

Thank you

What would the content of mystatement.sql be?

Ah, okay. To keep the maintenance burden low, we recommend using tools that are already installed, wherever possible. That way, csvkit is focused on unique features. So, I’ll close.
