 * Hi all,
 * I’m wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how I would 
   go about either generating the base WordPress database schema programmatically,
   whether that’s grabbing the SQL statements and running them myself, or if I can
   call a function within the WordPress core that would run the SQL statements for
   me?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 * Cheers
