Description
@camsaul My postgres db has an enumerated type. I see [this possible hack](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14719207/how-do-you-insert-a-postgres-enum-value-using-clojure-jdbc) for making that work in java-jdbc, but that looks messy and possibly destroys the type safety of the enum in the first place (not clear). I can probably live with just strings here, but any advice on making enums work with Toucan?
