PostgreSQL INSERT into an array of enums

Question

How can I insert an array of enums?
Here is my enum:

CREATE TYPE equipment AS ENUM (\'projector\',\'PAsystem\',\'safe\',\'PC\',\'ph         


        

Answer 1

PostgreSQL doesn't know how to automatically cast input of type text to input of type equipment. You have to explicitly declare your strings as being of type equipment:

ARRAY['projector','PAsystem','safe']::equipment[]

I confirmed this with SQL Fiddle.
