Sql Server 2005 Enum Values?

Does anyone know if Sql Server 2005 supports a similar set of values like a C# enum? I don't want to have to create a table for 4 lookup values (e.g cricital, high, medium and low).

Sql Server 2005 Enum Values?
Well I am not sure about SQL Server 2005, but the primitive way which I can think of is to define your field as VARCHAR and impose a CHECK constraint on it to make sure only one of the lookup values you mentioned are entered.





I think you might also benefit from a user defined type here.





Hope this helps.
Reply:Relation database stores data in a single form - a table.


How shall you use these values?


You can use client application for specific purpose.
