[code]
const enum FieldLength: uint{
	Title = 64
}

const string SQL1 = "title CHAR(" ~ std.conv.to!string( FieldLength.Title ) ~ ")";

void main() {
	writeln( FieldLength.Title );
	writeln( SQL1 );
}
[/code]


Result is
---------------
Title
Char(Title)


I can do cast(uint)( FieldLength.Title ) to fix this, but then I am repeating the type of `enum`.

Is there any way to get the type of enum without interacting with its items?
Is there any way to get string representation of an item of enum without casting?

std.traits.OriginalType

I think casting to the OriginalType and then using to!string is the correct way to do this.
