since we added the annotation @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING), Spring Data will save the name of the entity in the database (look, we put a VARCHAR column). If you prefer, you could use EnumType.ORDINAL and Spring Data will save the ordinal value of the entity (1,2,3,etc..), so change the column to accept a numeric value
