Hi, Is it a good thing to use enum type such a column in a table instead of making a foreign key which references to another table? I found these links talking about enum and when I will use them: http://komlenic.com/244/8-reasons-why-mysqls-enum-data-type-is-evil/ https://www.percona.com/blog/2008/01/24/enum-fields-vs-varchar-vs-int-joined-table-what-is-faster/
Is there any advices or new updates to use enum type in order to decrease the number of join between the table and optimize the performance and query runtime?
