Maybe it's enough to rename --silent-diff to --check. You can do "--show-diff --check" and get both the error and the diff printed; or just "--check" and it'll throw an error without further ado; or "--show-diff" and it will both apply the diff and print it. -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "I must say, I am absolutely impressed with what pgsql's implementation of VALUES allows me to do.
