Throw error when main db instance method used inside an interactive transaction

[denis-sepirak]

const client = new PGlite();
await client.transaction(async (tx) => {
   await tx.query('select 1');
   await client.query('select 1'); // process just exits without any errors
}) 

Is this an intended behavior? (I know that I shouldn't do this, but still)

$ node -v
v20.11.0
$ arch
arm64

Hey @denis-sepirak
Yep, using the client instance inside an interactive transaction is not supported. There is no specific error handling for it apart from a Mutex at the moment, it may be that it's deadlocking.

I'm going to repurpose this issue to track adding error handling to this situation.
