### Describe the Bug
When using Drizzle with PostgreSQL, all created schemas and tables — including the `drizzle` schema and the `__drizzle_migrations` table — are owned by the current user, rather than by a general role like pg_database_owner.
This creates issues when:
- Migrating databases to new environments
- Changing the PostgreSQL user
- Using managed setups with restricted user permissions
Because the ownership is tied to a specific user, permissions break unless ownership is manually reassigned.
Suggested improvements:
- Use pg_database_owner for ownership where possible
- Or allow configuration of schema/table ownership
- Document the current ownership behavior and its implications
