Thanks for all the comments!

@Arjen: I’ll add these limits to my todo. I followed your link and couldn’t help to laugh at the first reply you got. It’s no wonder there are so many MySQL forks out there.

Run ANALYSE(10,100) rather than without params. This sets the max# of ENUM items to 10 and a total of 100 bytes in the ENUM list.
In short, it gets rid of the nonsensical default of trying to stick everything in an enum.

Awesome! I never realized you could grab the output of a PROCEDURE ANALYSE() like that.

Thanks!
