In the server logs the log_error_verbosity configuration setting
controls how much much detail is logged.  For client-side display,
in psql you can use the VERBOSITY variable.

For client-side display, see the pg_errorlevel database handle
attribute in the DBD::Pg manual page.

$dbh->{pg_errorlevel} = 0;  # terse
$dbh->{pg_errorlevel} = 1;  # default
$dbh->{pg_errorlevel} = 2;  # verbose
