How can I make it so that my context objects uses the Enum feature in Entity Framework 5.0 if I am using Database First.

By keeping the enum in your database, and adding a foreign key on the table that contains an enum value you ensure that no code ever enters incorrect values for that column. This helps your data integrity and is the most obvious reason IMO you should have tables for enums.
You can use the '|' (bitwise OR ) operator to mask multiple roles together in a single 64-bit integer, which you can store in the database in an integer field (a bigint ). RoleEnum userRoles = RoleEnum. User | RoleEnum.
Numeric enums are number-based enums i.e. they store string values as numbers. Enums are always assigned numeric values when they are stored. The first value always takes the numeric value of 0, while the other values in the enum are incremented by 1.
Go to the model browser and create a new enum type, then go to whatever column you wish to use it on and change its type to the enum that you just created.
