This storage engine has been deprecated.

The main differences are:

New features in FederatedX

• Transactions (beta feature)

• Supports partitions (alpha feature)

• New class structure which allows developers to write connection classes for other RDBMSs without having to modify base classes for FederatedX

Different behavior

• When you create a table with FederatedX, the connection are tested. The CREATE will fail if MariaDB can't connect to the remote host or if the remote table doesn't exist.
