NAME

Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Enum - Enumerated column metadata.

SYNOPSIS

  use Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Enum;

  $col = Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Enum->new(...);
  $col->make_methods(...);
  ...

DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for enum columns. Column metadata objects store information about columns (data type, size, etc.) and are responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values. An enum column accepts a restricted set of string values which are usually stored as sequential integers in the database.

This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar. Inherited methods that are not overridden will not be documented a second time here. See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Scalar documentation for more information.
