Good suggestion. Attached is v2 incorporating this change, the
exclude-database logic (including the `cell` and `first` variable
declarations) is now scoped inside an `if (dbsToExclude)` block.
This keeps the variables out of the function's top-level scope when
the feature isn't being used.

The patch is also tracked in CommitFest PG20-1:
