specific_name sql_identifier The specific name of the function. See Section 36.40 for more information.
group_name sql_identifier The SQL standard allows defining transforms in groups, and selecting a group at run time. PostgreSQL does not support this. Instead, transforms are specific to a language. As a compromise, this field contains the language the transform is for.
