/**
* A SQL enum type. This can be any of the following:
*
* - In {@link SQLDialect#MARIADB}, this can be a column-scope enum type
* - In {@link SQLDialect#MYSQL}, this can be a column-scope enum type
* - In {@link 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
* {@link Enum}. In Scala, for instance, enums are not idiomatic, and jOOQ
* implements them differently. In any case, this {@link EnumType} API is
* implemented by generated database enums.
