Description of change

describeTableQuery's "special" subquery resolves enum labels by pg_type.typname with no namespace filter:

(SELECT array_agg(e.enumlabel)
 FROM pg_catalog.pg_type t
 JOIN pg_catalog.pg_enum e ON t.oid = e.enumtypid
 WHERE t.typname = c.udt_name) AS "special"

Enum types are named enum_<table>_<column> and created in the table's schema, so two schemas holding a table of the same name end up with a same-named enum type in each, and the subquery matches both.

array_agg keeps the result to one row, so unlike the sibling "Comment" subquery this doesn't raise an error and instead silently concatenates the labels of every same-named enum. On a two-schema fixture, describeTable() reports this for a column declared ENUM('one', 'two'):

['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']

Joining pg_namespace and correlating on c.udt_schema returns only the labels of the type the column actually uses.

Verified against PostgreSQL 17.5: the added integration test fails on main with the merged array above and passes with the fix.

Relationship to #17511 / #18379

This is the independent of the bug in #17511 (for #18379), but has the same issue.

I have kept them in separate PRs because #17511 is already approved pending its test (which I have pushed to that branch).

This PR touches the next line in the same assertions in the describe-table-query.test.ts.

There is no issue filed for it; it was found while investigating #18379.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed PostgreSQL table descriptions to report enum values from the correct schema when identical enum or table names exist across schemas.
    • Prevented enum values from being incorrectly combined between schemas during table metadata inspection.
    • Preserved the declared order of PostgreSQL enum values in table descriptions.
    • Improved the accuracy and consistency of PostgreSQL table metadata for tables and enum types across multiple schemas.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PostgreSQL describeTableQuery now matches enum types by schema and preserves enum declaration order. Unit expectations and a PostgreSQL integration test cover same-named tables in different schemas.

Changes

PostgreSQL describeTable enum metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schema-scoped enum query
packages/postgres/src/query-generator-typescript.internal.ts, packages/core/test/unit/query-generator/describe-table-query.test.ts
The query joins pg_namespace to match c.udt_schema and orders enum labels by e.enumsortorder. Unit expectations cover the listed describeTableQuery forms.
Schema-scoped enum integration coverage
packages/core/test/integration/query-interface/describeTable.test.js
A PostgreSQL-only test creates same-named tables in two schemas with different enum values and verifies the corresponding describeTable results.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Move model setup into scoped lifecycle hooks.

The existing beforeEach only assigns this.queryInterface. It does not set up or clean up MyTable1 and MyTable2. Wrap this PostgreSQL case in a nested describe and move schema creation and forced synchronization into its beforeEach, with the required cleanup in afterEach. Keep the existing suite hook unchanged so unrelated tests do not run this setup.

@SippieCup
SippieCup force-pushed the fix/postgres-describe-table-enum-schema branch from cce3798 to 5e08bf3 Compare September 15, 2026 03:31
The "special" subquery in describeTableQuery resolved enum labels by
pg_type.typname alone, with no namespace filter. Enum types are named
enum_<table>_<column> and created in the table's schema, so two schemas
holding a table of the same name end up with a same-named enum type in
each, and the subquery matched both.

array_agg keeps the result to a single row, so this never raised an error
the way the sibling "Comment" subquery does. It silently concatenated the
labels of every same-named enum instead: describeTable() on a two-schema
fixture reported ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five'] for a column
declared as ENUM('one', 'two').

Joining pg_namespace and correlating on c.udt_schema returns only the
labels of the type the column actually uses.

sorry for the gross history, apparently you can't do gh stacks on 3rd party repos.

@SippieCup I noticed with my agent as well, I think I'll give it rights to push to changes in this repo later. You can do the same as well
