Great little snippet for using Postgres enum types inside clojure.java.jdbc

gistfile1.clj

(defn str->pg-enum
  "Convert a string value into an enum-compatible object."
  [enum-type s]
  (doto (org.postgresql.util.PGobject.)
    (.setType enum-type)
    (.setValue s)))
    
(def str->status
  "Convert a string status into a something_status enum object"
  (partial string->pg-enum "something_status"))
  
;; Use it:
(str->status :accepted)
; -> #<PGobject accepted>
