java.sql.SQLException: Data truncated for column
<p>i'm new in java programming. i have an enum data type in my class:
public class Persons {</p>

<pre><code>enter code here
private String name;
private String family;
private Date birthDate;
public enum degree {Bsd, Msd, prof};
private degree degree;
...}
</code></pre>

<p>In my MySQL database, I have a field for degree as : <code>ENUM('Bsd','Mds','prof')</code>
and my hibernate mapping is like this:</p>

<pre><code> &lt;class name="Entity.Professor" table="tbl_professor"&gt;
        &lt;id column="ProfessorId" name="ProfessorId"/&gt;
        &lt;property column="name" name="name"/&gt;
        &lt;property column="family" name="family"/&gt;
        &lt;property column="birthDate" name="birthDate"/&gt;
        &lt;property column="degree" name="degree"/&gt;
    &lt;/class&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>When I want to insert a new record in my table, I get this error:</p>

<pre><code>Hibernate: insert into tbl_professor (name, family, birthDate, degree, ProfessorId) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
