Description:

1. Created a new type:

create type day_of_week as enum ('Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday',

'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday');

2. Created a new table:

CREATE TABLE public.schedule

(
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
week_day day_of_week DEFAULT NULL,
minute integer DEFAULT 0,
hour integer DEFAULT 0
);

3. Insert a new record:

INSERT INTO "public"."schedule" ("id", "week_day", "minute", "hour")

VALUES (DEFAULT, 'NULL', DEFAULT, DEFAULT);

Result:
[42804]: ERROR: column "week_day" is of type day_of_week but expression is of type character varying Hint: You will need to rewrite or cast the expression. Position: 87
type character varying
Hint: You will need to rewrite or cast the expression.
Position: 87

Why I cannot set NULL to ENUM field?
