 Hi,

 Note the following comment in 
 src/backend/commands/vacuumlazy.c:lazy_scan_heap()

 1088 /* If no indexes, make log report that lazy_vacuum_heap
 would've made */
 1089 if (vacuumed_pages)
 1090 ereport(elevel,

 Just wondering if it would read better as:

 1088 /* Make the log report that lazy_vacuum_heap would've made
 had there been no indexes */

 Is that correct?

No.  Your rewrite means the opposite of what the comment means now.
vacuumed_pages will be non-zero only if the relation does NOT have
indexes.

You are correct. It does sound opposite of what is actually happening:

Somewhere in c:lazy_scan_heap(),

941 /*
942  * If there are no indexes then we can vacuum the page right now
943  * instead of doing a second scan.
944  */
945 if (nindexes == 0 
946 vacrelstats-num_dead_tuples  0)
947 {
948 /* Remove tuples from heap */
949 lazy_vacuum_page(onerel, blkno, buf, 0, vacrelstats, vmbuffer);
950 has_dead_tuples = false;
951
952 /*
953  * Forget the now-vacuumed tuples, and press on, but be careful
954  * not to reset latestRemovedXid since we want that value to be
955  * valid.
956  */
957 vacrelstats-num_dead_tuples = 0;
958 vacuumed_pages++;
959 }


Sorry about the noise.
