The DevTableGen command-line tool (devtablegen.exe) generates database tables for use with the local Table service from a list of managed assemblies. You can create assemblies that model your desired table schema in your code and call the DevTableGen tool to generate the table in the Microsoft® SQL Server™ Express database.
For detailed information about how to use the DevTableGen tool, see About Development Storage.
