OK, but in order for them to get to my tty, they have to bubble down from postgres, through the UNIX/TCP socket I am talking to the driver with, into DBD::Pg, through DBI, and out through perl's STDERR right? I mean, that must be right, because if I run my script "2> /dev/null" I don't see this spam... so it would stand to reason that if DBI provides a "PrintWarn" option that "controls the printing of warnings recorded by the driver. When set to a true value the DBI will check method calls to see if a warning condition has been set."... So it sounds like DBD::Pg isn't thinking to squealch NOTICEs coming from the server when I ask it to by turning PrintWarn off. > You can however turn off those notices in postgresql.conf Sure I can, or I can do "SET client_min_messages=error", but shouldn't the DBD::Pg driver do that *for* me when I ask not to see warnings?
