    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>as as follow-up, the mentioned below capacity is now in GDAL
      master per <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3638">https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/3638</a><br>
    </p>
    <p>This is implemented curretly for FileGeodatabase (reading-only,
      could be extended on the write side in the FileGDB) and GeoPackage
      (read/write).</p>
    <p>I guess this could be extended to PostgreSQL too by storing the
      enums in an auxiliary table linked through a foreign key.</p>
    <p>Even<br>

      <div dir="ltr">Hi,
        <div>I'm trying to dump a large PostGIS database into a
          GeoPackage. In the original database some columns</div>
        <div>are strings, but could be more efficiently represented as
          enums, as they have a small set of values.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>GeoPackage has a native notion of enums, check the spec and
          search for "table 27" for an example:</div>
        <div><a href="http://www.geopackage.org/spec/"
            moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.geopackage.org/spec/</a><br>
        </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>However I cannot find mention of them in the GPKG driver
          documentation:</div>
        <div><a href="https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/gpkg.html"
            moz-do-not-send="true">https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/gpkg.html</a><br>
        </div>
        <div>I quickly grepped into the geopackage sources for "enum",
          could not find it in the geopackage sources.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Also looked at the "mapFieldType" ogr2ogr parameter and at
          OGR SQL, did not find anything there either.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>So I'm wondering, is there direct support for enum fields?
          Any way to map a string column to enum during</div>
        <div>a ogr2ogr call?</div>
        <div><br>
