Re: BUG #1672: Postgres 8.0 doesn't return errors.

Thanks again for getting back to me.

I entered the statement you wanted. (show client_min_messages;) It
returned...
client_min_messages
---------------------
log
(1 row)

I did try what you mentioned (set client_min_messages to notice;) and it
didn't work.

Any other recommendations? I do appreciate your assistance and I will
endeavor to make sure to try what you suggest before replying.

Thank you,
Greg Miller-Kramer
