Yeah, I know that, but this doesn't look quite right.  I mean to say
whatever we want to say via this message is correct, but I am not
completely happy with the display part.  How about something like:
"pgbench_accounts is missing, you need to do initialization (\"pgbench
-i\") in database \"%s\"\n"?  Feel free to propose something else on
similar lines?  If possible, I want to convey this information in a single
sentence.

How about, "pgbench_accounts is missing, initialize (\"pgbench -i\") in
database \"%s\"\n"?

I think that we should not presume too much about the solution: perhaps the user did not specify the right database or host and it has nothing to do with initialization.

Maybe something like:

"pgbench_accounts is missing, perhaps you need to initialize (\"pgbench -i\") in database \"%s\"\n"

The two sentences approach has the logic of "error" and a separate "hint" which is often used.
