## PostgreSQL ENUM Support
**PostgreSQL ENUM** columns from external Postgres sources now show up as **SingleSelect** fields inside NocoDB. One of the most upvoted requests from the community ([#4862](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/4862)), this closes a long-standing gap for teams who connect NocoDB to a Postgres database where ENUMs already define the allowed values.
Whether you're connecting NocoDB to an existing Postgres schema where ENUMs are the source of truth, building a hybrid stack where your application writes ENUM values and your team edits them in NocoDB, or simply wanting to enforce a fixed set of values closer to the data, ENUM columns now appear as proper select fields in NocoDB. Reads, writes, and round-trips stay type-safe, and the full set of allowed values is preserved end-to-end.
**What's supported**
- Read ENUM columns from any connected Postgres source โ they appear as SingleSelect fields with the database's labels as options.
- Edit ENUM values from grid, gallery, kanban, and expanded record views; the dropdown is restricted to the column's defined labels.
- Add, rename, and remove options from inside NocoDB โ changes apply directly to the underlying Postgres ENUM type.
- When the same ENUM type is shared by multiple columns, NocoDB safely forks a new type for the column being edited so changes don't leak to other columns using the same ENUM.
- Filter, sort, group, and search ENUM fields exactly like any other SingleSelect.
> **Note:** PostgreSQL ENUMs map to **SingleSelect only** in this release. ENUM array columns and MultiSelect-backed ENUMs are not yet supported.
## Improvements and Fixes
- **Faster base load on large schemas** - Bases with hundreds of tables now open noticeably faster, with table metadata streamed in as you scroll the sidebar.
- **CSV export honours active filters** - Fixed an issue where exporting a filtered view would occasionally include rows hidden by the active filter set. Exports now match exactly what the view shows.
- **Shared Kanban views** - Fixed an issue where shared Kanban views would fail to load when the stack-by column was hidden in the view.
