Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported MySQL query in the parser and investigate how the Auto_increment expression is tokenized or parsed. The issue is done when this query is accepted consistently with MySQL behavior, with coverage added for the reported syntax if the repository's existing tests provide a suitable place.

Description

bug

Hello,

This query is valid with mysql but not with sql-parser :

select @test:=Auto_increment FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_name='myTable'

The part "Auto_increment" seems to be the problem.

Thanks
