How to suppress echo while executing batch files?

[matthias]

I have to execute fairly large batch files (200-300MB) with several million
INSERT commands.

When I do that from pgsql using the \i switch, I get the echo
INSERT 0 1

for every single insert statement of my batch file.

Since I assume that this slows down the whole process I would like to know
if there is a way to suppress that echo and only get error messages and
such?

Thanks

Matt

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

Can these files be rewritten to use COPY instead of INSERT?
Performance might improve.
