pgsql: Use PageIndexTupleOverwrite() within nbtree. - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Use PageIndexTupleOverwrite() within nbtree.

Use the PageIndexTupleOverwrite() bufpage.c routine within nbtree
instead of deleting a tuple and re-inserting its replacement.  This
makes the intent of affected code slightly clearer.  It also makes
CREATE INDEX slightly faster, since there is no longer a need to shift
every leaf page's line pointer array back and forth during index builds.
