Description

I'm not sure if this is intended behaviour but I was running into a problem of not having all my scripts run and wasn't certain why until I tried to execute the sql in the last script it logs that it's initialising and found a bug someone had introduced. Is it not possible for the container to at least show there was an error with the script or better yet log the actual error to track down the error more easily?

Research direction

Reproduce the problem with a container initialization sequence in which one SQL script fails and a later script is not run. Start by tracing how initialization scripts are executed and how their output is handled. Done means a failing script is visibly reported and its error is available for troubleshooting.
