Out of curiosity, which "big, expensive enterprise database" are you spoiled
by? Many that I support do not allow DDL within an transaction, or if they
allow it, there are many caveats and rules.

by my "big, expensive enterprise database"?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
