Unable to check connection before creating DB

[jwoertink]

If you run the lucky db.verify_connection task before running db.create it will fail because the database doesn't exist. If you run it after the db.create, it's completely redundant because you just made a successful connection. Unless you run create, change your connection settings, then run verify_connection 🤔 lol...

We should have a way to verify the connection to the postgres engine itself before running create
