Not through MySQL++ or the underlying C API.  The interface between 
those libraries and the database server is SQL queries, which are text.

The only option I can think of would be to stop the database server, 
translate your data file straight into the raw table format of your 
choice (InnoDB, for instance) and start the database server back up so 
it will see the new table.
