Description:
when doing select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES, I get a DATA_FREE of size 0 ( zero ) for all the tables. 

As I understand, it should be like "show table status" ( of mysql 4.xx ) DATA_FREE.

How to repeat:
Just run select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES and you will see that.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
