Can function index

create index on toode ( *split_part( toode, '/',1) *)

and query

select toode.toode , n2, n3, n4

from toode, vordlusajuhinnak

where *split_part( toode.toode, '/',1) *= vordlusajuhinnak.toode;


used and keeping existing table structure? Functional index should 
produce same speed improvement as using separate column?
