turning off verbose output of pl/sql?

[Robert William Vesterman]

Can I turn off all of the output like "Table created", "1 Row
Inserted", "PL/SQL procedure successfully completed", and so on?

Can I do so while retaining error output (e.g. "Error at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist")?

And retaining output that I explicitly put into my scripts via
dbms_output?

Ideally, I would like to see the verbose output in response to
something that I directly type in to pl/sql, but not in response to a
part of a saved script that I'm executing. But, if that's not
possible, I'd still be mostly happy with a toggle that I would
manually turn off and on whenever I wanted or didn't want the verbose
output.

Thanks,

Bob Vesterman.

You can turn off *sqlplus output* (mark the distinction) by issuing
set feedback off
This will not affect error messages and serveroutput.
