Hi all, I know that Postgres' enum_in()/enum_out() functions have a volatility class of STABLE, and STABLE is required because enum elements can be renamed. We have an enum in our database used in a number of custom functions, all of which require casting the enum to/from text. Since enum_in() and enum_out() are STABLE, that means our functions that rely on those casts must also be STABLE, and as a result we can't use them in generated columns.
I have seen conversations that suggest creating a custom IMMUTABLE function to perform the cast, but I can't figure out how to do that except with a CASE statement that enumerates every possible value. Is there a more elegant approach? Thanks Philip
