surprising `fetchall` return value on some queries, since 1.5.2

[shahin]

What happens?

duckdb.execute of CREATE OR REPLACE or PIVOT each return a result set with row count, but the same call with both statements together returns an empty result since 1.5.2 of the Python library.

To Reproduce

In 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 this succeeds and the assertions pass:

import duckdb

assert duckdb.execute("create or replace table t1 as select 1").fetchall() == [(1,)]
assert duckdb.execute("""PIVOT (
    SELECT 'X' AS category, 100 AS amount
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Y' AS category, 200 AS amount
) ON category USING SUM(amount);""").fetchall() == [(100, 200)]

In 1.5.1 we continue to get a result set with CREATE OR REPLACE and PIVOT so this succeeds:

import duckdb

assert duckdb.execute("""create or replace table t1 as PIVOT (
    SELECT 'X' AS category, 100 AS amount
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'Y' AS category, 200 AS amount
) ON category USING SUM(amount);""").fetchall() == [(1,)]

In 1.5.2 and above, the query succeeds but the assertion fails:

AssertionError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[2], line 1
----> 1 assert duckdb.execute("""create or replace table t1 as PIVOT (
      2     SELECT 'X' AS category, 100 AS amount
      3     UNION ALL
      4     SELECT 'Y' AS category, 200 AS amount
      5 ) ON category USING SUM(amount);""").fetchall() == [(1,)]
