Added some Multi Threading to my code to get full advantage of the dual core on my laptop:

class Thread(threading.Thread):

new_field = 'prime' # name of the column
field_type = 'INTEGER'  # column data type

def createDB():
    # Connecting to the database file
    conn = sqlite3.connect(dbname)
    c = conn.cursor()
    try:

         for row in  c.execute('select prime from primes order by prime'):

        c.execute('CREATE TABLE {tn} ({nf} {ft})'\
                .format(tn=table_name, nf=new_field, ft=field_type))

    # Committing changes and closing the connection to the database file
    conn.commit()
    conn.close()

    conn=sqlite3.connect(dbname,  timeout = 30000)
