Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating GT Database's database-parameter binding entry point and inspect how values are converted before binding. Done means Enum values and objects implementing Stringable are automatically cast appropriately, without requiring callers to pass an Enum's name property.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

My colleague @pixeldrift64 is pair programming from me, and something he noted was that when binding an Enum into a database parameter, you have to remember to pass its name property.

GT Database should be able to detect an Enum (or anything that's Stringable) and cast it accordingly.
