ENUM is a MySQL specific type. I suggest you use a single
char in Oracle: CHAR(1) CHECK (VALUE IN ('Y', 'N') )
or a 3-char, value in 'YES', 'NO'.

Formatting is - largely - a client side issue.

Well, our database developer IDE "Database Workbench" can do
a lot of this, for you - www.upscene.com - but it doesn't come for
free.
