This is all about db4free.net and the database systems that it offers. The main focus are practical examples of the new features of MySQL 5 and 6 that should show you how to use them for your advantage in your daily life ;-).
I think it's not so bad when it's used for just a few values, like 'yes/no' or just a small number of options. If there are more values, it's of course better to reference by a separate table using a foreign key constraint ;-).
ENUM is an horrible solution and should be avoided.
