Tom Lane 8e7537261c Suppress less info in regression tests using DROP CASCADE.
DROP CASCADE doesn't currently promise to visit dependent objects in
a fixed order, so when the regression tests use it, we typically need
to suppress the details of which objects get dropped in order to have
predictable test output.  Traditionally we've done that by setting
client_min_messages higher than NOTICE, but there's a better way:
we can "\set VERBOSITY terse" in psql.  That suppresses the DETAIL
message with the object list, but we still get the basic notice telling
how many objects were dropped.  So at least the test case can verify
that the expected number of objects were dropped.

The VERBOSITY method was already in use in a few places, but run
around and use it wherever it makes sense.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
