Interface EnumType

public interface EnumType

A SQL enum type. This can be any of the following:

• In SQLDialect.MARIADB, this can be a column-scope enum type
• In SQLDialect.MYSQL, this can be a column-scope enum type
• In SQLDialect.POSTGRES, this can be a schema-scope enum type
• In all other dialects, this can be an enum type as defined in the code generation configuration [#968]

Client code should not assume that the actual enum reference is a Java Enum. In Scala, for instance, enums are not idiomatic, and jOOQ implements them differently. In any case, this EnumType API is implemented by generated database enums.
