ENUM column type is not supported by CONNECT engine with tabtype=MySQL

    Description

      I know that it's a documented limitation (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/connect-table-types-mysql-table-type-accessing-mysqlmariadb-tables/#data-types), but I was informed that recent CONNECT code should support ENUM columns. It does not seem to be the case based on my test:

      [openxs@fc23 maria10.1]$ bin/mysql -uroot test

      CONNECT says the following about its version in the log:

      Version: '10.1.23-MariaDB'  socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'  port: 3306  Source distribution

      MariaDB was built from the following GitHub version:

      [openxs@fc23 server]$ git log -1
      commit ba298b1f022aa5e1247d07a97325c0a09bdd1dc2
      Merge: 716188f c51fc67

          Merge 10.0 into 10.1
      

      Please, either confirm that ENUM is still not supported, or fix whatever problem prevents from having the latest CONNECT code in the main tree.
