I have a column name quarter which I need to have 5 possible inputs; 1, 2, 3, 4, or OT. Because of the OT possibility I am leaning towards ENUM. Hence, I am also thus considering ENUM('first', 'second', 'third', 'fourth', 'overtime') as the input will primarily be used in written descriptions. Is this a wise or unwise way to design a table column?
Thanks
