Bug reference:      8153
Logged by:          Marc Mamin

Operating system:   Linux & windows
Description:        

hello,

This is not a functional bugs, but it appers (at least for me...) that
following constraint gets defined with some unecessary overweight:

create table test (a varchar);

(1) alter table test add constraint test_ck check ( a in ('a','b'));

I'd expect this to be resolved in CHECK (a = ANY (ARRAY['a'::character
varying, 'b'::character varying]) ).
I've tried further variantes. (3) looks better but there is always a cast on
the table side.

(2) alter table test add constraint test_ck_2 check ( a = ANY
(ARRAY['a'::character varying, 'b'::character varying] ));    
(3) alter table test add constraint test_ck_3 check ( a = ANY
(ARRAY['a'::text, 'b'] ));    


\d+ test
                              Table "public.test"
 Column |       Type        | Modifiers | Storage  | Stats target |
Description
--------+-------------------+-----------+----------+--------------+-------------
 a      | character varying |           | extended |              |
Check constraints:
    "test_ck"   CHECK (a::text = ANY (ARRAY['a'::character varying,
'b'::character varying]::text[]))
    "test_ck_2" CHECK (a::text = ANY (ARRAY['a'::character varying,
'b'::character varying]::text[]))
    "test_ck_3" CHECK (a::text = ANY (ARRAY['a'::text, 'b'::text]))

best regards,

Marc Mamin
