I have two tables: order and order_status.
In the first one I store the orders of a shop and in the second one the different possible statuses that an order can have (in progress, paid, …).
Should be there a relationship (1:1??) between these two tables or should I just create an ENUM type for the status values?
Go ahead and create the table. You will need more statuses over time (trust me, I work on 20,000 online stores every day, and OrderStatus is NOT as simple as it sounds). This will also let you add flags the statuses: some answers may count as a form of “shipped”, even if their descriptions vary.
