Did you know PostgreSQL has built-in enum types?
I use them in all my business applications with jOOQ.

Here’s some #Maven dependency advice: if your source code imports a class then make sure its provider (the JAR file) is explicitly listed as a dependency.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT rely on the transitive closure of resolved dependencies.

If used, declare it.

You’ll thank me later.
