Hi Youngo Torque is built on the idea that the database schema is static, i.e. does not change at runtime, and that the database structure is defined in the schema file, not in the database. There is some benefit in reverse-engineering from the database, however it is also a very difficult and large field. The "Torque main path" is to define the structure in the schema xml file and then re-run the generator, not to change the database and re-engineer it. Therefore, to support enums, I have created a ticket in Jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TORQUE-331, which supports enum definition in the schema.xml. I'm currently working on it, because I have also missed the enum feature.
To elaborate the reverse engineering from the database: The generator can generate a schema file from the database, but it is not in the core focus of the Torque team and only works for very coarse features. See http://db.apache.org/torque/torque-4.0/documentation/orm-reference/running-the-generator.html#Generation_of_XML_schema_from_an_existing_database. However, if you'd like to improve it, please go ahead.

It means that If ROLE table changed by adding a new role such as 'Owner' Role, than some task run torque generator to generate new RoleEnum class which is include the Owner. If torque has an ability to read database and generate corresponding enum, I think it is very useful feature. ( It is very cumbersome work to add/remove by hand whenever some kind of type table changed) And your eum with om usage tip is very helpful to me. Thanks a lot.
