ENUM data type in Ruby on rails

Question

I would like to change a column in the DB for the status of a package in my application, something like:

Pending ( should be default )
Cleared
Updated

The current column is boolean data type. I was thinking of changing to ENUM data type, but I'm not sure if that will be a good choice and how to go about it. Do you have any suggestions?

As per my knowledge this is what I would do.., For eg: In your DB

def change
create_table :statuses do |t|
  t.integer "status",:default => 1
end

end

and In model define your enum status

class Status<ActiveRecord::Base
  enum status {pending: 1, cleared: 2, updated: 3}
end
