• Install the plugin “script/plugin install enum-column”

• Define the table schema. for example
create_table :enumerations, :force => true do |t|
t.column :severity, :enum, :limit => [:low, :medium, :high, :critical],
:default => :medium
t.column :color, :enum, :limit => [:red, :blue, :green, :yellow]
...
end

Step 3:

In the model add validation
validates_columns :severity, :color

In the views <%= input 'e', 'severity' >
This will create a select box with all the options
