+You can handle `Enumerated Types <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-enum.html>`_ using string representations:

+To insert or update the value use a string:

+  curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000/products" \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

+You can then query and filter the enum using the compatible :ref:`operators <operators>`.
+For example, to get all the products larger than `m` and ordering them by their size:
