type recognition with MonetDB, *create* tables from CSVs

Question

I am confused whether you can copy records into a new table in MonetDB.

The official documentation seems to talk only about copying into existing tables. I have quite a large universe of billions of records in dozens of tables, and I would much prefer a solution that inferred the type from the CSV itself, and the column names from the first rows.

A StackOverflow answer seems to work for SQL Server 2000 with OpenRowset, though even they are not concerned about data-type inferencing.

Another answer here on DBA recommends BCP before calling BULK INSERT in Server 2000, neither of which is discussed in the MonetDB documentation.

Other answers also suggest that this is impossible in MySQL without external scripts.

Disclaimer: I am an SQL and MonetDB newbie, but thanks for not letting me miss the obvious.
