I have to execute fairly large batch files (200-300MB) with several million INSERT commands. When I do that from pgsql using the \i switch, I get the echo INSERT 0 1 for every single insert statement of my batch file. Since I assume that this slows down the whole process I would like to know if there is a way to suppress that echo and only get error messages and such?
