OPAQUE datatype is used only by internal functions that make calls to other
functions. It is not datatype actually, but some kind of instruction to make
no assumptions about return type. Actual meaning depends on what function is
it - trigger, constraint etc. You cannot use OPAQUE functions in queries.
