My intent was to ensure that we didn’t accidentally suggest that statements like “VACUUM , foo, bar;” were accepted, but the extra brackets don’t seem to fix that, and I don’t foresee much confusion anyway. > In short for all that, it is enough to have "[, ... ]" to document > that a list is accepted.

The main disadvantage that I found was that the command wouldn’t fail-fast if one of the tables or columns didn’t exist, and I thought that it might be frustrating to encounter such an error in the middle of vacuuming several large tables. It’s easy enough to change the logic to emit a warning and simply move on to the next table, but that seemed like it could be easily missed among the rest of the vacuum log statements (especially with the verbose option specified). What are your thoughts on this? In the spirit of simplifying things a bit, I do think it is possible to eliminate one of the new node types, since the fields for each are almost identical. > + * used for error messages.
