I have a Java Enum:
public enum Equipment { Hood, Blinkers, ToungTie, CheekPieces, Visor, EyeShield, None;}
and a corresponding Postgres enum:
CREATE TYPE equipment AS ENUM ('Hood', 'Blinkers', 'ToungTie', 'CheekPieces', 'Visor', 'EyeShield', 'None');
Within my database I have a table which has a column containing an array of "equipment" items:
CREATE TABLE "Entry" (
id bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('seq'::regclass),
"date" character(10) NOT NULL,
equipment equipment[]
);
And finally when I am running my application I have an array of the "Equipment" enums which I want to persist to the database using a Prepared Statement, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it.
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("insert into \"Entry\" ");
sb.append("( \"date\", \"equipment \" )");
sb.append(" values ( ?, ? )");
PreparedStatement ps = db.prepareStatement(sb.toString());
ps.setString("2010-10-10");
ps.set???????????
