```
public static Field.Type[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Field.Type c : Field.Type.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Field.Type valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Enum<Field.Type>
  - getType

public static Field.Type getType(int type)
```
    With this method the enumeration-type can be found based on the given int conforming to java.sql.Types
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - The string-representation of the type.
    
    Returns:
    
    The enumeration-type.
  - getType
```
public static Field.Type getType(String tag)
```
    With this method the enumeration-type can be found based on the given string.
    
    Parameters:
