CREATE TABLE pick (picked char(1), load_id integer);

CREATE FUNCTION picked_loadid(character, integer) RETURNS integer
   IMMUTABLE STRICT LANGUAGE sql AS
   $$SELECT CASE WHEN $1 = 'y' THEN $2 ELSE NULL END$$;

CREATE INDEX idx_load_pick ON pick (picked_loadid(picked, load_id));

*but*

It will only work with queries like:

SELECT * FROM pick WHERE picked_loadid(picked, load_id) IS NOT NULL;
