what is meant by "shadow database", is this not my maintenance database? Does the uuid function actually need to be "installed" in each individual database?

Hey Barnaby ๐Ÿ‘‹ the Shadow DB is used by Prisma Migrate to execute a migration, you can read more about it in our docs here.
Does the uuid function actually need to be โ€œinstalledโ€ in each individual database?
I would believe so, did you try this already?
