PG's ENUM does work that way, below the same type is shared:
from sqlalchemy import Column
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy import Integer
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import Session
from sqlalchemy.dialects import postgresql
Base = declarative_base()
State = postgresql.ENUM("AK", "AL", "CO", "NY", name="states")
class A(Base):
__tablename__ = 'a'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
data = Column(State)
class B(Base):
__tablename__ = 'b'
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
data = Column(State)
e = create_engine("postgresql://scott:tiger@localhost/test", echo=True)
Base.metadata.create_all(e)
s = Session(e)
s.add_all([A(data="CO"), B(data="NY")])
s.commit()
SQL output includes:
CREATE TYPE states AS ENUM ('AK', 'AL', 'CO', 'NY')
CREATE TABLE a (
id SERIAL NOT NULL,
data states,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
CREATE TABLE b (
id SERIAL NOT NULL,
data states,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
)
