Previously it was possible to set client_min_messages to FATAL or PANIC, which had the effect of suppressing transmission of regular ERROR messages to the client. Perhaps that seemed like a useful option in the past, but the trouble with it is that it breaks guarantees that are explicitly made in our FE/BE protocol spec about how a query cycle can end. While libpq and psql manage to cope with the omission, that's mostly because they are not very bright; client libraries that have more semantic knowledge are likely to get confused. Notably, pgODBC doesn't behave very sanely. Let's fix this by getting rid of the ability to set client_min_messages above ERROR. In HEAD, just remove the FATAL and PANIC options from the set of allowed enum values for client_min_messages. (This change also affects trace_recovery_messages, but that's OK since these aren't useful values for that variable either.) In the back branches, there was concern that rejecting these values might break applications that are explicitly setting things that way. I'm pretty skeptical of that argument, but accommodate it by accepting these values and then internally setting the variable to ERROR anyway. In all branches, this allows a couple of tiny simplifications in the logic in elog.c, so do that. Also respond to the point that was made that client_min_messages has exactly nothing to do with the server's logging behavior, and therefore does not belong in the "When To Log" subsection of the documentation. The "Statement Behavior" subsection is a better match, so move it there.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
