Yes, I had that problem too.
pgbench allows you to run a script file, but there is no way to run an
initialiser script for a custom workload. Worse, if you don't do -n when
you run a custom script, it tells you that the branches table doesn't
exist, which is strange if you aren't using that in your scripts.
Proposed enhancement to pgbench:
-g filename
runs filename prior to start of main test transactions. Only used in
conjunction with the -f option. Normal cleaning/vacuuming of TPC-B
tables does not occur if -g option set.
