I want table_schema like this:

Answer 1

What I think you really want, then, is another table. You want one table for the grp and another for the name.

The grp table would have an id (let's call it grp_id ), which is included in the name name. This id can be an auto-incremented integer. It would also have the name of the group.

The name table would have an id (let's call it name_id ). This would also be an auto-incremented integer. This would have the name of the animal. You would need to join to the grp table to get the name of the group.
