Extensions in ash_postgres database

Hi,

since my project will require some analytics, I’ve decided to use Postgres + DuckDB via pg_duckdb extension. I’ve spinned up an official pgduckdb container, set up credentials, run mix ash.reset, added pg_duckdb to installed_extensions/0 and finally run mix ash.codegen install_pg_duckdb + mix ash.migrate, but I end up with:

Ok, I works with ddl transaction disabled. Question is whether it should be disabled by default when it comes to extensions?

Hmm…it could yes? It must be a restriction of duck db though because we don’t have that issue with Postgres. Makes me wonder if Postgres can actually transactionally install an extension. Feels like probably not.

With that said we define functions etc. which we’d want to be transactional.
