seed

To get the seed and step values of an identity column in sql server i can use this syntax

SELECT ColumnName = name, Seed = seed_value, Step = increment_value 
  FROM sys.identity_columns

So far in MySql i have found that if i use this syntax

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
 WHERE auto_increment IS NOT NULL

I can at least find out which columns are an identity...

The question being how can i get the SEED and STEP values of the identity column from the MySQL Schema.
