hello all,

I am new to this list, and I hope my request is well placed, here. I 
tried searching the archives but I wasn't lucky.

I want to create an index over two columns and one function:

the WHERE clause is:
WHERE lower(name)=? AND type_id=? AND syn_id=?

I know from the docs that I have to create on function that wraps these 
three values for creating the appropriate index. I have practically no 
idea how to do this (e.g. what type/set should this function return?).

Thanks a lot for pointers to documentation/former postings or any help
Cheers
Chantal
