it should to work without functional index - but not sure about effectivity
postgres=# explain select 1 from a join b on a.f = sin(b.f);
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merge Join (cost=809.39..1352.64 rows=10000 width=0)
Merge Cond: (a.f = (sin(b.f)))
-> Index Scan using a_f_idx on a (cost=0.00..318.25 rows=10000 width=8)
-> Sort (cost=809.39..834.39 rows=10000 width=8)
Sort Key: (sin(b.f))
-> Seq Scan on b (cost=0.00..145.00 rows=10000 width=8)
(6 rows)
but functional index always helps
postgres=# create index on b((sin(f)));
CREATE INDEX
postgres=# explain select 1 from a join b on a.f = sin(b.f);
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merge Join (cost=0.00..968.50 rows=10000 width=0)
Merge Cond: (a.f = sin(b.f))
-> Index Scan using a_f_idx on a (cost=0.00..318.25 rows=10000 width=8)
-> Index Scan using b_sin_idx on b (cost=0.00..450.25 rows=10000 width=8)
(4 rows)
