Stupid me, I was using enums the wrong way. I was using an enum like a constant. I.E. If my database takes a 'Sex' parameter, with Male as 1, Female as 2, Unknown as 3, Both as 4 - I'd use an enum like so: update person set sex=Sex.Male Looks like I can't do that with this enum class. Well, I suppose I'd have to do it like so: sex = Sex.Male.value not very sexy...
