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

As I asked in my previous message, what's the output of the following
query?

SHOW client_min_messages;

My first guess is that client_min_messages is set to "fatal" or
"panic", which, although not among the documented settings for
client_min_messages, are allowed and would have the effect you
describe:

test=> SET client_min_messages TO panic;
SET
test=> SELECT misspelled_excol FROM extable;
test=> SET client_min_messages TO notice;
SET
test=> SELECT misspelled_excol FROM extable;
ERROR:  column "misspelled_excol" does not exist
