//@PURPOSE: Enumerate the set of data types for a user supplied attribute.
//
//@CLASSES:
//  ball::UserFieldType: namespace for an enum of user supplied attribute types
//
//@DESCRIPTION: This component provides a namespace for the 'enum' type,
// 'ball::UserFieldType', that enumerates the set of types a user defined log
// attribute may have.
//

//  ------------            -------------------------------------------------
//  e_VOID                  Enumerator representing an unset value
//  e_INT64                 Enumerator representing an integral value
//  e_DOUBLE                Enumerator representing an double value
//  e_STRING                Enumerator representing a string value
//  e_DATETIMETZ            Enumerator representing a DatetimeTz value
//  e_CHAR_ARRAY            Enumerator representing a bsl::vector<char> value

///Example 1: Basic Syntax
///- - - - - - - - - - - -
// The following snippets of code provide a simple illustration of
// 'ball::UserFieldType' usage.
//
// First, we create a variable 'value' of type 'ball::UserFieldType::Enum' and
// initialize it to the value 'ball::UserFieldType::e_STRING':
//..
//  ball::UserFieldType::Enum value = ball::UserFieldType::e_STRING;
//..
// Next, we store a pointer to its ASCII representation in a variable
// 'asciiValue' of type 'const char *':
//..
//  const char *asciiValue = ball::UserFieldType::toAscii(value);
//  assert(0 == bsl::strcmp(asciiValue, "STRING"));
//..
// Finally, we print the value to 'bsl::cout':
//..
//  bsl::cout << value << bsl::endl;
//..
// This statement produces the following output on 'stdout':
//..
//  STRING
//..

        //..
        //  STRING
        //..
        // Note that specifying a 'value' that does not match any of the
        // enumerators will result in a string representation that is distinct
        // from any of those corresponding to the enumerators, but is otherwise
        // unspecified.
