But probably making them act like identifiers is not a good idea, because I doubt we want automatic downcasing in enum_in. People wouldn't be happy if they had to write WHERE color = '"Red"' or something like that to get at a mixed-case enum label. Let's just throw the error instead. (I agree that enum_in can just fail with "no such label", but CREATE TYPE ought to give a specific error about it.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
