Normally it is unsafe to allow ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE in a transaction block, because instances of the value could be added to indexes later in the same transaction, and then they would still be accessible even if the transaction rolls back. However, we can allow this if the enum type itself was created in the current transaction, because then any such indexes would have to go away entirely on rollback. The reason for allowing this is to support pg_upgrade's new usage of pg_restore --single-transaction: in --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump emits enum types as a succession of ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE commands so that it can preserve the values' OIDs. The support is a bit limited, so we'll leave it undocumented. Andres Freund |
