Hi Boris,

I have reviewed the new patch. Overall, it looks correct,
but I have a few minor questions.

1. What do you think about moving characters in 'detail: Allowed step 
characters are: "dtgMScGUvpf"' so that generation modes and 
transactions count modes are not mixed? For example "dtMSgcGUvpf".
2. In the initCreateTables function, default values are set as empty 
strings '' in the pgbench_history and pgbench_accounts tables. Was 
this done intentionally, and if so, what is the reason? In the 
pgbench_tellers and pgbench_branches tables, the implicit default 
would be NULL - why was this logic changed?
3. In showPopulateTableCopyProgress, I think it would be better to 
calculate elapsed_sec and remaining_sec inside the condition blocks, 
as is done in the original code.
4. Do the changes and bug fixes in the patch affect performance? Are 
the existing performance measurements still valid?

Best regards,
Egor
