Hi all,
Thanks a lot for all your valuable inputs. I tried "\set QUIET" and "\unset
QUIET" arount certain parts of the file. It works fine with INSERT COMMANDS.
But incase of creating tables, it still prints NOTICE and ERROR messages on
the screen...how do I restrict that.
Regs,
Pradeep

As someone else suggested, you could redirect the script's output to
/dev/null. You could also use psql's -q ("quiet") option or surround
certain parts of the file with "\set QUIET" and "\unset QUIET".
COPY is quieter and more efficient than INSERT, so if you're using INSERT
then you could replace it with the appropriate COPY statement.
