+1  Q: 

Are MySQL ENUMS intended for use with CakePHP or should I avoid them?

Thing is, I don't see these ENUMs producing pull-down menus in CakePHP scaffolding, so I'm thinking CakePHP might advise against it, but I can't find any documentation on the matter.

Anyone know whether or not to use ENUMs?

+1  A: 

I finally found the answer to this question, straight from trac.cakephp.org, ticket #2169.

yes, we are dropping support for enums

Why did they do this? Anyone? Bueller?

Travis: The answer is in the link. ENUMs only work in MySQL. That's why they are dropping them.
