try on your machine
The command "pgbench --initialize --scale=${50} ${database_name}" is used to initialize a benchmarking database in PostgreSQL using the pgbench utility.
- "pgbench" is the command-line utility provided by PostgreSQL for benchmarking database performance.
- "--initialize" is an option that tells pgbench to initialize the benchmarking database.
- "--scale=${50}" is another option that specifies the scale factor for the benchmarking database. In this case, the scale factor is set to 50. The scale factor determines the size of the benchmarking database in relation to the default size.
- "${database_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the database that will be initialized. You need to replace it with the actual name of the database.
Combining all the elements, the command initializes a benchmarking database in PostgreSQL with a scale factor of 50 for the specified database.
