Create table <structname>t1</> with two functionally dependent columns, i.e.
knowledge of a value in the first column is sufficient for determining the
value in the other column. Then functional dependencies are built on those
columns:

INSERT INTO t1 SELECT i/100, i/500
FROM generate_series(1,1000000) s(i);

-- valid combination of values
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE (a = 1) AND (b = 0);
