The only way I've seen to do this is to first execute the query
DESCRIBE `my_table` and then examine the value of the `Type` column
that is returned for the row that represents the column you are
examining in your regular query. You just have to strip the 'ENUM('
and ')' from the beginning and end and then split the remaining
string.
