Really? The example works as stated for me:
regression=# select overlay('Txxxxas' placing 'hom' from 2 for 4);
overlay
---------
Thomas
(1 row)
Removing an 'x' would give
regression=# select overlay('Txxxas' placing 'hom' from 2 for 4);
overlay
---------
Thoms
(1 row)
I think the example is trying to point out that the replacement string
need not be the same length as what is replaced.
