Another answer is to get rid of some of our chattier NOTICEs, or at
least downgrade 'em to DEBUG1 or thereabouts. Does anyone really still
think that
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "foo_pkey" for table "foo"
is conveying any useful information? It's not like you couldn't find
out the name of the index from "\d foo".
I think this is a better answer than having pg_dump try to force the
message level, since that would get in the way of seeing the messages
when you needed to do so for debugging reasons.
(cc'ing to Bruce who has always been the most vocal defender of those
notices... now where did I put my flameproof longjohns?)
