Description
I am able to compile a custom build of benthos with a database/sql compatible driver.
However I am unable to use it because of the enum field:
https://github.com/redpanda-data/connect/blob/9867fe59bf2f388ccadf6a768fa2a760b26e6f9d/internal/impl/sql/conn_fields.go#L30
I wish it would be possible to add database drivers and use them with existing sql package.
