For example, for CREATE DATABASE the first "Note" para in [1] is
CREATE DATABASE cannot be executed inside a transaction block.
I don't think we are entirely consistent about whether this is mentioned in "Description" or "Notes", but it's there somewhere.
Yes, I noticed that, once I read Erik's email (went to GMail's SPAM folder...).
Still, my little brain didn't leap to the conclusion that other DDLs were implicitly transactional,
because missing of a note another DDL's doc has. All I'm saying it's not as obvious as you
experienced PostgreSQL folks seems to think it is. FWIW. Thanks again, --DD
