This is indeed a little too basic for most developers. I was expecting some additional info like mapping your own ordinal or taking advantage of native enums in a DB. Yet, maybe some absolute beginner will find a need for this, so I voted the article up anyway ;)

I definitely like the idea of using a short string (as short as possible) to map an enum to a database column, rather than using a number. It's easier to make sense of a string indicating the meaning of the enum compared to a cryptic number.
