Sure.
You can create an index based on a function, but only if the function is
immutable:
test=# create table foo (ts timestamptz);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create index idx_foo on foo(extract(date from ts));
ERROR: functions in index expression must be marked IMMUTABLE
To solve this problem specify the timezone:
For the same table as above:
test=*# create index idx_foo on foo(extract(date from ts at time zone 'cet'));
CREATE INDEX
If you have a timestamp whitout timezone it is much easier:
test=# create table foo (ts timestamp);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# create index idx_foo on foo(extract(date from ts));
CREATE INDEX
Hope thats help, Andreas
