Does SQL Server 2005 have an equivalent to MySql's ENUM data type?

Question

I\'m working on a project and I want to store some easily enumerated information in a table. MySql\'s enum data type does exactly what I want: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refm

Does this work for you?

Create table...

MySQL:

ColumnName ENUM('upload', 'open', 'close', 'delete', 'edit', 'add')
   DEFAULT 'open'

SQL Server:

ColumnName varchar(10) 
   CHECK(ColumnName IN ('upload', 'open', 'close', 'delete', 'edit', 'add')) 
   DEFAULT 'open'
