By what magic is that to happen?  DDL on the database always requires
a certain amount of locking.  Doing it across database back ends
without two phase commit is even tricker, because you'd _better_ be
sure that you don't send events to the other database before the
table is there or changed or whatever.

It is the importance of that synchronization that lead us to
suppose that execute script was enough.  I'm trying to understand
what the problem is that one is trying to solve, that is not solved
now.
