psql too noisy

[Marc Evans]

Hello -

Can anyone suggest a way to suppress all STDOUT/STDERR output by the psql
utility, except for >= ERROR level messages? In particular, I am trying
to suppress NOTICE level messages. The purpose behind this is so that when
a lengthy script is fed to psql to build a virgin DB, the many NOTICE
lines output about things like "implicit sequence" and "implicit index"
are suppressed.

I have tried -q and -v VERBOSITY='terse' with no observed effect.

Thanks in advance - Marc

TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Set client_min_messages to WARNING.
