loading tables via SQL script

Is this an embedded SQL script for defining & re-loading the tables ?

If MS Access can support this technique,
and all the SQL commands used are valid for MS Access,
then where and how do I point Access at the script ?
Are there parts missing ?

Just trying to get all the html blob data from the old website into a place
where we can review and export it back out into new physical web pages.

I have what appears to be a plain text backup file
from Wordpress used on a now closed team website.

The website we used for one of our teams
was not renewed last year, and is gone.

I have all the files, including what appears to be a backup file
of the Wordpress blog used to maintain the website.
A snipet is included below.
How can I use this backup file to load an MS Access database ?
It appears to be a list of SQL commands
with the actual text data embedded within the stream.

I really just want a single table - the one with all the formatted text
blog
entries...

You can use similar scripts within VBA code or in a query like:

CREATE TABLE tblContacts
([ContactID] counter,
[LastName] text (30),
[FirstName] text (30),
[FullName] text (60),
[ContactDate] date,
[Notes] memo,
CONSTRAINT [ContactID] PRIMARY KEY ([ContactID]));

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX FullName ON tblContacts (LastName, FirstName);

In VBA, you'd do:

Dim strSQL
strSQL = "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX FullName ON tblContacts (LastName,
FirstName);"
CurrentDB.Excecute strSQL

tnx for the reply...
I'm not a Access guy, or a SQL guy -
so basically I have this 1GB text file with the commands & data embedded,
and have no idea - outside of stripping out each text element manually -
how to get the data into an Access file so I have something
that I have a chance of manipulating to get to the html blog data
that was basically stored as blob entries.

SO - given all that -
where or how do I start
maybe it's nothing more than "pointing" Access at the text file
and clicking "do it" - not sure how to do that -

It's sort of like a big, detailed instruction manual... in Urdu. Great if you
read Urdu but Access doesn't.

It may be worthwhile obtaining a (free!) copy of SQL/Express, running the
script, and then linking to the SQL instance from Access. You could migrate
the data from SQL into an Access database, or (probably better) keep the data
in SQL/Express and just use Access as a frontend.

tnx for the reply and pointers..
Since the end goal is to just get the html blog entries from the database,
which are plain text and can easily be seen embedded in the script,
I may just spend the time cutting and pasting the text....
OR - it might be interesting in trying the SQL/express route
and learn a little about that world .

I just had to do something similar. I had CSV files with a million rows in
each. What I did was to change the extension from csv to txt, so they
wouldn't look like Excel files to Access. Then I used the import wizard to
import them, making sure that I checked the datatypes were correct. If the
files are too big to import, you may have to link them, but the resulting
queries will be much slower.
