behind, as do failed <command>INSERT</>s. Previously only
<command>VACUUM</> could reclaim space taken by dead tuples. With
<acronym>HOT</> dead tuple space can be reclaimed at the time of
- <command>UPDATE</> or <command>INSERT</> if no changes are made to
+ <command>INSERT</> or <command>UPDATE</> if no changes are made to
indexed columns. This allows for more consistent performance.
Also, <acronym>HOT</> avoids adding duplicate index entries.
