With the current snapshot, there seems to be problem with functional indexes.
Example:
CREATE TABLE timelog (loginname text, site varchar(16), start_time datetime,
elapsed timespan);
CREATE FUNCTION datetime_day (datetime ) RETURNS float8 AS 'select
date_part(''day'', $1)' LANGUAGE 'SQL';
INSERT INTO timelog values ('abc','varna','Thu 01 Jan 23:23:34 1998 EET','@ 10
mins');
INSERT INTO timelog values ('abc','sofia','Thu 01 Jan 23:23:34 1998 EET','@ 2
hours 10 mins');
$ psql test

You are currently connected to the database: test
test=> create index timelog_date_idx on timelog (datetime_day(start_time));
ERROR: DefineIndex: (null) class not found
test=>
Also, using date_part() directly in the index definition:
test=> create index timelog_date_idx on timelog (datetime_part('day',
start_time));
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "'"
Can something be done about this before 6.4 is released?
