For this, use the ENUM data type. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable838(Color ENUM('RED','GREEN','BLUE')); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.67 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable838 values('RED'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable838 values('Green'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.64 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable838 values('Blue'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.88 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable838;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Color | +-------+ | RED | | GREEN | | BLUE | +-------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
