BUG #15479: Documentation claims that client_min_messages is related to logging
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 15479
Logged by: Clemens Ladisch
Email address: clemens@ladisch.de
PostgreSQL version: 11.0
Operating system: any
Description:
Step 1: User wants to reduce the amount of logging, looks into section
19.8.2 "When To Log".
Step 2: Sets "client_min_messages = fatal".
Step 3: The server sends no ErrorResponse, so erroneous SQL statements
appear to succeed.
Example:
</messages/by-id/EE586BE92A4AFB45B03310C2A0C0565D6D0EFC17@G01JPEXMBKW03>
The problem is that client_min_messages has *no relation whatsoever* with
the server's logging.
This variable affects the client connection, so its documentation should be
moved into section 19.11 "Client Connection Behaviour".
(And the word "messages" might still be misleading; maybe use "network
protocol messages".)

Yeah, I agree. Will do.
(And the word "messages" might still be misleading; maybe use "network
protocol messages".)
I don't think that adds anything.
