+ levels. These messages provide detailed information about the
+ verification process that may be of interest to
+ <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> developers. Advanced users
+ may also find this information helpful, since it provides
+ additional context should verification actually detect an
+ inconsistency. Running:
+<programlisting>
+SET client_min_messages = DEBUG1;
+</programlisting>
+ in an interactive <application>psql</application> session before
+ running a verification query will display messages about the
+ progress of verification with a manageable level of detail.
