Hi,
I've setup a mysql table field which is a SET type, but it seems to be completely pointless. I can't see why I should use a SET type rather than a string for the following reasons:
1. I appear to be able to store whatever I want in there. MySQL doesn't enforce the rule that what I stick in there must be items from the set I defined when I defined my field.
I'd like to see any example of this, if by "store" you mean that you can actually get MySQL to store (rather than ignore) items in a SET column that are invalid according to the column definition.
