Untested code warning. First you need to create an ODBC data source that
mxODBC can access. I assume it is called "mydb".

    import mxODBC as db
    conn = db.connect("mydb")
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE tbl (
            field1    INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
            field2    VARCHAR(20))""")
    # remove next line if autocommit in operation
    conn.commit()
    conn.close()

I think that's about it.

 Steve
