Description

Currently if a dev was to commit on the connection stored in the cursor it could potentially damage data. To prevent that my idea is to subclass the psycopg connection/cursor and pass this object to the migration functions. This subclassed connection/cursor could then prevent any commit or retrieval of the connection.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how to subclass psycopg2 connection and cursor to disable commit/rollback, then integrate this custom connection into the migration functions.
