Limited query-ability.

[hickscorp]

If I want a query to return records for which the enum is either of two values, the following syntax should work:

Invitation
  |> where(type: ^[:expert, :investor])
  |> Repo.all 

I tried pretty much everything I could, it just simply doesn't work. I would have expected a type IN ... query to be generated, but it's not.

For now, the solution seems to be a or_where(...) construct, but it gets really messy with more constraints on other fields.

Does this work?

  Invitation
  |> where([i], i.type in ^[:expert, :investor])
  |> Repo.all 

What kind of ecto_enum is this? Is it string-backed, integer-backed or does it use PG types?

[OvermindDL1]

|> where(type: ^[:expert, :investor])

Doesn't this form lose type information of what is being processed on the struct?

|> where([i], i.type in ^[:expert, :investor])

Where this style keeps type information (and thus ecto enum conversions)?
