title: How to persist an enum using NHibernate
body: <p>Is there a way to persist an enum to the DB using NHibernate? That is have a table of both the code and the name of each value in the enum.</p>
  
  <p>I want to keep the enum without an entity, but still have a foreign key (the int representation of the enum) from all other referencing entities to the enum's table.</p>
