I have: CREATE TYPE status AS ('NEW','ACTIVE','DESPATCH','COMPLETE'); and included field in my modified version of dellstore2.sql data CREATE TABLE pg_orders ( orderid serial NOT NULL, customerid integer NOT NULL, orderdate date NOT NULL, orderstatus status, CONSTRAINT pg_orders_pkey PRIMARY KEY (orderid) ) WITH (OIDS=FALSE) TABLESPACE datadisk; Now I have populated table, I have decided I really need a 'CANCEL' status and append it to emum.list! Without creating status2 and swapping table fields/data I cannot find an ALTER TYPE - APPEND TO ENUM command -- would response be different if I wanted to reorder values?
