title: MySQL enum vs. set
body: <p>For MySQL Data type of "enum" and "set" what are the differences and advantages and disadvantages of using one versus the other?</p>
  
  <p>Example data type:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>enum('A', 'B', 'C')</li>
  <li>set('A', 'B', 'C')</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The only difference that I am aware of is that ENUM only allows one value to be selected versus SET allows multiple values to be selected.</p>
