I'm not sure why there is a reference to Oracle in the discussion of https://github.com/h2database/h2database/pull/451. Oracle does not support an enum type (although it can be emulated, as in any database, using a `CHECK` constraint).

Updated changelog

(MySql/ORACLE - SQL style)

Command failed silently corrupting the changed column.
Before the change (added after v1.4.196) following was observed:
 alter table T modify C int null; -- Worked as expected
 alter table T modify C null;     -- Silently corrupted column C

required passing the Column down to Value#convertTo
Note that the test code in testscript.sql was pulled from maxenglander's
PR #572

When using CHAR(N) in PostgreSQL any inserted value smaller than N
characters will be right-padded with spaces to fill all N characters.
See: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/datatype-character.html

This change adds an additional Mode.padFixedStrings and set it to true
in the PostgreSQL Mode. Any value converted to a ValueStringFixed at
INSERT will be right-padded with spaces.
