A simple example:

Put the database commands in a text file (precede comments with --):

CREATE DATABASE junk;

\connect junk

-- Table "a" is adgaga axdfaxdfga hgfadsh
CREATE TABLE a (f1 INT PRIMARY KEY,
f2 TEXT);

...and so on...

Then run the script:

$ psql <sql.script

(Obviously you need to be a database user with the privilege to let you
do everything that is in the script.)

(I see you are using Microsoft mail software. The above commands are for
Unix; I don't know whether they need any modification for Windows.)
