46 The SQL standard allows defining transforms in <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">groups</span>”</span>,
47 and selecting a group at run time. PostgreSQL does not support this.
48 Instead, transforms are specific to a language. As a compromise, this
49 field contains the language the transform is for.
