Setting up tables in Dapper

I'm new to Dapper and currently I'm trying to populate my fresh database. Since Dapper has no ability to create a table from model directly, how should I populate my database? Are there any good practices other than executing a schema from the variable?

Currently, I'm using this (dirty approach):

 public void CreateTables()
    {
        using (var connection = GetSQLiteHandle())
        {
            string sql = @"
                CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS statistics (
                    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
                    name TEXT NOT NULL,
                    value TEXT NOT NULL
                );
                CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS posts (
                    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
                    content TEXT NOT NULL,
                    created TEXT NOT NULL
                );
                CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS names (
                    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
                    name TEXT NOT NULL
                );
                CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
                    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
                    username TEXT NOT NULL,
                    email TEXT NOT NULL,
                    created TEXT NOT NULL
                );
                CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS storage (
                    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
                    key TEXT NOT NULL,
                    value TEXT NOT NULL
                );
            ";
            connection.Execute(sql);
        }
    }
