OK, this is the diagnostic:

1. the wizard does not recognize type as a reserved keyword (it should
recognize it and mangle it to typeCol).
2. the wizard outputs the NUMERIC field improperly - I think it's inverting
the order of precision/scale (except for currency data types, which are
hardcoded to NUMERIC(18,4) to comply with OLE DB's specs)

After these errors, the others are a 'cascade' - the tables don't get
created, so data can't be pumped and keys can't be set.
