Global min_messages

Machine-wide setting for quieter Postgres output

April 2, 2012 Tagged: empathy postgres ruby on rails Comments (View) Global min_messages When running Rails apps with Postgres in development mode, you might notice output like this when running tests: NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "users_id_seq" for serial column "users.id" NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "users_pkey" for table "users" It’s noisier than you need for day-to-day development. To quiet the noise, you could change a setting in your config/database.yml file: min_messages: warning However, we can set this machine-wide instead of project-wide, similar to the global .gitignore file and set noswapfile vim setting. psql -d rails_app_development ALTER ROLE <user> SET client_min_messages TO WARNING; Change <user> to be the user account for your machine.
