if we want to extend the scripting language.  But I'd be perfectly happy
with a command-line switch that specifies a script file to be run once.

Once per connection, yes?

Hmmm ... good question.  Heikki was speculating about doing CREATE TABLE
or similar, which you'd want done only once period.

I was creating a separate table for each connection to work with...

 But I see no very
strong reason why cases like that couldn't be handled outside of
pgbench.  So yeah, once per connection.

... so that is exactly what I was thinking too.

For things that only need to run once, period, you can just do:

psql -c "CREATE TABLE"; pgbench ...
