When I ran this script it did not insert anything into the copytest_0 table. It only generated a single copytest_data_text.copy file of size 9.236MB. 
Please help me understand how is this 'pgbench running COPY into a single table'. Also what are the 'seconds' and 'tbl-MBs' metrics that were reported.

Thank you,
Muhammad
