Maybe put the whole thing into the ERROR message instead of having a
separate DETAIL line?
ERROR: database "%s" is being accessed by %d session(s)
-or-
ERROR: database "%s'" is being accessed by %d prepared transaction(s)
-or-
ERROR: database "%s'" is being accessed by %d session(s) and %d
prepared transaction(s)
or possibly similar variants on the following, slightly more compact wording:
ERROR: database "%s'" has %d open session(s) and %d prepared transaction(s)
