list Postgres ENUM type

Question

The suggested query to list ENUM types is great. But, it merely lists of the schema and the typname. How do I list out the actual ENUM values? For

Answer 1

I always forget how to do this. As per the other answer and the comment, here it is a comma-separated list. I like copy-paste snippets. Thanks for the help:

select n.nspname as enum_schema,  
    t.typname as enum_name,
    string_agg(e.enumlabel, ', ') as enum_value
from pg_type t 
    join pg_enum e on t.oid = e.enumtypid  
    join pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = t.typnamespace
group by enum_schema, enum_name;

Answer 2

select enum_range(enum_first(null::province),null::province);

Answer 3

This lists all enum-typed columns and their potential values:

SELECT
  table_schema || '.' || table_name || '.' || column_name as field_name,
  pg_enum.enumlabel as value
FROM pg_type
  JOIN pg_enum ON pg_enum.enumtypid = pg_type.oid
  JOIN pg_namespace on pg_type.typnamespace = pg_namespace.oid
  JOIN information_schema.columns ON (information_schema.columns.udt_name = pg_type.typname AND information_schema.columns.udt_schema = pg_namespace.nspname)
WHERE pg_type.typtype = 'e'
ORDER BY field_name, pg_enum.enumsortorder;

Answer 5

Add order

SELECT
  n.nspname AS enum_schema,
  t.typname AS enum_name,
  e.enumlabel AS enum_value
FROM
  pg_type t
  JOIN pg_enum e ON t.oid = e.enumtypid
  JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = t.typnamespace
ORDER BY
  enum_name,
  e.enumsortorder;

Answer 6

select n.nspname as enum_schema,  
       t.typname as enum_name,  
       e.enumlabel as enum_value
from pg_type t 
   join pg_enum e on t.oid = e.enumtypid  
   join pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = t.typnamespace
