I wondered what the difference actually is, so I checked. In -i mode, the only difference is that if the tables don't exist before hand, we receive the NOTICE that it doesn't. In normal mode, the -d switch emits so much junk that I would believe if somebody told me that passing -d distorted the benchmark results; and it's hard to believe that such output is valuable for anything other than debugging pgbench itself. All in all, I support the original patch. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "I love the Postgres community.
