# 44.18. `pg_enum`

The `pg_enum` catalog contains entries matching enum types to their associated values and labels. The internal representation of a given enum value is actually the OID of its associated row in `pg_enum`. The OIDs for a particular enum type are guaranteed to be ordered in the way the type should sort, but there is no guarantee about the ordering of OIDs of unrelated enum types.

--- | --- | --- | ---
`enumtypid` | `oid` | ``pg_type`.oid` | The OID of the `pg_type` entry owning this enum value
`enumlabel` | `name` |  | The textual label for this enum value
