No worries, thanks for the reply.
I think I have difficulty understanding the context of the question, but I will try to answer clearly.
By "enum" I meant the ENUMERATION (i.e. the list of allowed values for a column, provided during table creation or edition).
Example: `transaction_type` enum('credit','debit','free') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'debit'
While adding or editing records, currently we have to type values for the enum type columns (transaction_type).
We can simply select values from a menu pre-populated with values from the list of enums.
Some enum values can be really annoying for typing, so its nice to have some kind of assistance.
