The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 11524
Logged by: Feike Steenbergen
Email address: feikesteenbergen@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.4beta2
Operating system: Debian
Description:
If I want to add a value to an ENUM type, I cannot do so when having
AUTOCOMMIT enabled.
To reproduce:
\set ECHO queries
CREATE TYPE mood AS ENUM ('sad', 'ok', 'happy');
ALTER TYPE mood ADD VALUE 'autocommit enabled';
\set AUTOCOMMIT OFF
ALTER TYPE mood ADD VALUE 'autocommit disabled';
Output:
CREATE TYPE mood AS ENUM ('sad', 'ok', 'happy');
CREATE TYPE
ALTER TYPE mood ADD VALUE 'autocommit enabled';
ALTER TYPE
ALTER TYPE mood ADD VALUE 'autocommit disabled';
psql:autocommit_enum.sql:5: ERROR: ALTER TYPE ... ADD cannot run inside a
transaction block
I have this issue on 9.1 - 9.5. (This issue does not occur on 9.0 as adding
"ADD VALUE" was added in 9.1).
This bug reminds me of:
BUG #10822: "ALTER SYSTEM cannot run inside a transaction block" when having
autocommit disabled.
