Input doesn't match output of databases connection config

[LinusU]

When configuring a database backend you are giving it a connection_url, e.g.

{
  "allowed_roles": ["*"],
  "connection_url": "postgresql://user:[email protected]:5432/db",
  "plugin_name": "postgresql-database-plugin"
}

But when reading the same path out, the following is returned:

{
  "allowed_roles": ["*"],
  "connection_details": {
    "connection_url": "postgresql://user:[email protected]:5432/db"
  },
  "plugin_name": "postgresql-database-plugin"
}

Trying to set the second structure directly results in the error:

* error creating database object: connection_url cannot be empty

This is a problem because Terraform thinks that it needs to update the value every time I run terraform plan. Would it be possible to either accept both as input, switching the input to the second, or switching the output to the first format?

The reason for the output being this way is sensible but I think we could add a check that would allow reading the url from the connection details struct.

Sounds very good 👍
