Yes, now I see what you mean. Of course, with PostgreSQL you can
transfer anything as text.
I was under the impression that what is required is the mapping between
database enums and C++ enums, so that with your example:
> test=# create type enum1 as enum('enumval1','enumval2');
> CREATE TYPE
you would also have in C++:
enum enum1 { enumval1, enumval2 };
and the automagic mapping between these two.
When I answered that enums are not supported I meant that there is no
out of the box mapping between the two above. Of course, you can
implement it by hand for example by combining text transfer with user
conversions.
