[Compiler-sig] Convert table with xy coordinates to feature class in GIS

I am trying to convert a table with x,y coordinates to an ArcGIS feature
class. I am not experienced with Python scripting, so below is the
example of a python script exported from Modelbuilder.  I cannot find a
way to change the tool "Create Feature Class" to get input from the
"SDE.WELL_TEST".  Here is the order of parameters of the Create Feature
Class tool: (Note, the parameters in brackets like { } are optional).

CreateFeatureClass_management <out_path> <out_name> {POINT | MULTIPOINT
| POLYGON | POLYLINE} {template;template...} {DISABLED |
SAME_AS_TEMPLATE | ENABLED} {DISABLED | SAME_AS_TEMPLATE | ENABLED}
{spatial_reference} {config_keyword} {spatial_grid_1} {spatial_grid_2}
{spatial_grid_3} 

Any help is appreciated.

Python script:

# Create the Geoprocessor object
gp = arcgisscripting.create()

# Load required toolboxes...
gp.AddToolbox("D:/Program Files/ArcGIS/ArcToolbox/Toolboxes/Data
Management Tools.tbx")


# Local variables...
Well_test = "D:\\test\\Well_Annotation.mdb\\Well_test" 
SDE_WELL_TEST = "Database Connections\\apps1.sde\\SDE.WELL_TEST" 
XYWells = "D:\\test\\Well_Annotation.mdb\\XYWells" 

# Process: Copy Rows...
gp.CopyRows_management(Well_test, SDE_WELL_TEST, "")

# Process: Create Feature Class...
gp.CreateFeatureclass_management("", "XYWells", "POINT", "",
"DISABLED", "DISABLED", "", "", "0", "0", "0")
