The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 15356
Logged by: Lukas Eder
Email address: lukas(dot)eder(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 10.5
Operating system: Windows
Description:
Hello,
The CREATE TYPE documentation [1] specifies that enum types without any enum
labels are possible:
CREATE TYPE name AS ENUM ( [ 'label' [, ... ] ] )
I can confirm this. The following statement works well:
CREATE TYPE e AS ENUM ();
However, further down in the same documentation page, we can see:
"Enum types take a list of one or more quoted labels"
It should read "zero or more quoted labels". I suspect this should be
adapted on all documentation pages from PostgreSQL 9.0 onwards. In 8.4, the
documentation was consistent [2]
