OK, now things could get complicated. If we don't want to see
NOTICE/WARNING in the log, you could say you don't want to see ERROR in
the log, particularly syntax errors. Where do we go from here? You
could set your server_min_messages to FATAL, but then you don't see LOG
messages about server startup.
I have considered allowing individual message types to be specified,
particularly for the server logs, but the user API for that,
particilarly as SET from psql, becomes very complicated.
Maybe I have the ordering wrong for server_min_messages. Perhaps it
should be:
DEBUG5-1, INFO, NOTICE/WARNING, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
Nothing prevents us from doing that. Well, anyway, not sure how much I
like it but I throw it out as an idea.
