how to select field for set of enumeration with sqlite

Hello,

The orm field is set type as below:

TTestColor = (Red,Green,Blue);
TTestColors = set of TTestColor;

TTestOrm = class(Torm)
  FColors: TTestColors;
property
  Colors: TTestColors read FColors write FColors;
end;

....

LTestOrm.Colors := Red + Blue;

then Is it possible to select the set field which included set value?

Likewise "Select Colors from TestOrm where colors in [Red]"

Not directly in SQL or ORM because the set is stored as integer, and the DB itself doesn't know anything about the set definition.

But you can search at binary/number level using SQL Bitwise Operators:

var col: TTestColors;
begin
  col := [Red];
  table := orm.MultiFieldValues(TTestOrm, '*', '(colors & ?) <> 0', [byte(col)]);

Of course, it can't use an index, due to the nature of how indexes work.
