Yeah, per the code: /* * Silently ignore tables that are temp tables of other backends --- * trying to vacuum these will lead to great unhappiness, since their * contents are probably not up-to-date on disk. (We don't throw a * warning here; it would just lead to chatter during a database-wide * VACUUM.) */ if (RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP(onerel)) { relation_close(onerel, lmode); PopActiveSnapshot(); CommitTransactionCommand(); return false; } At the point where this is being done, we don't know whether the table was explicitly named or not, so we really can't issue a message. Perhaps it'd make sense to add an additional test earlier, where we do know that. On the other hand, nobody has ever complained about this before. regards, tom lane
