I think thats excessively wordy and contrived. 'They" [1] would be a
perfectly valid usage, but "He" [2] is totally legitimate as the generic
case.

"Possibly, your site administrator has already created a database for your
use. They should have told you what the name of your database is. In that case
you can omit this step and skip ahead to the next section."
