SQL92 has WARNING, would that be a suitable addition to NOTICE ?
INFO would not be added since it is like old NOTICE which would stay.
So, instead of introducing a lighter level we would introduce a
stronger level. (WARNING more important than NOTICE)
If we change, we might as well adopt some more SQL'ism.
e.g. string truncation is defined to return SUCCESS with WARNING.
I guess it would be a horror for existing client code though :-(
