Hi Jeppe,

Thanks for your suggestion, that’s indeed a good alternative. 

However, in case the first-run script is more complex I may not always know
what state to probe for to find out whether the script has fully completed.
Let’s say it failed while creating the last table of the table structure. I
would have to know the name of this last table (and check for its existence) 
to
be sure it has finished successfully. For that reason I thought using an
attribute to flag the successfulcompletion of the script would make this more
explicit and less brittle.

Thanks,

Niek.
