Maximum number of values in an enum field?

database question

[HughMungus]

I need to create an enum field. What's the maximum number of values (selections) I can put in there? Thanks.

[HughMungus]

Well, I was able to put as many as I wanted to in there...but what is the maximum?

For which database? MySQL?

An enumeration can have a maximum of 65,535 elements.
