ElephantSQL Drop Schema error #762

@paulywill

Description

@paulywill

Describe the bug:

Creating this issue as a reminder.

While attempting to do a manual setup using ElephantSQL I was trying to issue the npm run db:reset and getting a driver error.

Error during schema drop:
QueryFailedError: must be owner of view pg_stat_statements

This was problematic trying to drop and refresh an instance I already had created a few months ago.

In addition, ElephantSQL appears to cap you off with only one concurrent connection at a time. Which meant I was getting partial database schema creation and then have no way to drop it.

Only workaround was paying the $5/mth instance and deleting and re-creating instances then running the command one at a time:

npm run db:sync
npm run db:seed
