More fodder for the ENUM-Bad-Or-Good argument!
I’ve just read this article over on the MySQL Performance Blog, comparing speed of ENUM vs VARCHAR vs Joined Tables.
I like ENUM and find it makes my life a lot easier in a lot of cases (but not all, let’s get that straight – it’s good where it’s appropriate).
Nice to know other people can justify use of it too 😛
