What you need is a SQL command "SET client_min_messages=WARNING;". If you don't want to put it in your scripts, consider a ~/.psqlrc file, or use ALTER USER or ALTER DATABASE to make it default at those granularities, or change the installation's default in postgresql.conf. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/config-setting.html for more ways to control configuration parameters. regards, tom lane
