The attached is a patch to optimize contrib/pgbench using new 8.3 features.

- Use DROP IF EXISTS to suppress errors for initial loadings.
- Use a combination of TRUNCATE and COPY to reduce WAL on creating
the accounts table.

Also, there are some cosmetic changes.

- Change the output of -v option from "starting full vacuum..."
to "starting vacuum accounts..." in reflection of the fact.
- Shape duplicated error checks into executeStatement().

There is a big performance win in "COPY with no WAL" feature.
Thanks for the efforts!

The patches look good to me.

BTW, is anybody working on enabling the fill factor to the tables used
by pgbench? 8.3 will introduce HOT, and I think adding the feature
will make it easier to test HOT.

Please commit whatever you think is reasonable.

I'm not 100% sure that HOT will make it ... but I agree that it'd be
useful for pgbench to support different fillfactor choices. Please
add if you have time.

Please see if the attached patch looks good. It adds a new -F option
which can be used to set fillfactor for tellers, accounts and branches
tables. Default is 100 and anything between 10 and 100 is acceptable.

Thanks,
Pavan
