mysqlFEDERATED存储引擎可以实现oracle dblink类似的远程访问功能，FEDERATED存储引擎需要针对每个需要远程访问的表进行逐一创建，而不能像oracle dblink有全局功能。
mysqlFEDERATED存储引擎默认是不开启的

开启方法：my.cnf的[mysqld]下增加federated（小写），重启即可

测试一：远程访问
源192.168.129.150表test.fader
mysql> select * from fader;
+----+------+
| id | name |
+----+------+
| 1 | leo |
| 2 | mike |
| 3 | lucy |
| 4 | tom |
+----+------+
目标172.30.249.154上创建FEDERATED引擎表
CREATE TABLE fader_link (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE =FEDERATED DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 CONNECTION='mysql://root:Welcome1>@192.168.129.150:3306/test/fader' ;


mysql> select * from test.fader_link;
+----+------+
| id | name |
+----+------+
| 1 | leo |
| 2 | mike |
| 3 | lucy |
| 4 | tom |
+----+------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
可远程访问

测试二：物理文件
源192.168.129.150表test.fader
[root@trcloud-gtt-db-master test]# ls -l fader*
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8586 9月 22 10:22 fader.frm
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 98304 9月 22 10:22 fader.ibd

目标172.30.249.154表test.fader_link
[root@trcloud-gtt-test-db test]# ls -l fader_link*
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 8586 Sep 22 10:30 fader_link.frm
可以看出FEDERATED引擎表没有idb的数据文件，只有结构文件

测试三：修改表结构
源192.168.129.150表test.fader增加字段并增加数据
ALTER TABLE `fader`ADD COLUMN `city` varchar(255) NULL AFTER `name`;
mysql> select * from test.fader;
+----+------+------+
| id | name | city |
+----+------+------+
| 1 | leo | bj|
| 2 | mike | sh|
| 3 | lucy | nj|
| 4 | tom | hz|
+----+------+------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
目标172.30.249.154表test.fader_link查数据
mysql> select * from test.fader_link;
+----+------+
| id | name |
+----+------+
| 1 | leo |
| 2 | mike |
| 3 | lucy |
| 4 | tom |
+----+------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

查不到新增的列数据，尝试增加字段
mysql> ALTER TABLE test.fader_link ADD COLUMN `city` varchar(255) NULL AFTER `name`;
ERROR 1031 (HY000): Table storage engine for 'fader_link' doesn't have this option 报错无法对FEDERATED引擎表进行这个操作

源192.168.129.150表test.fader删除字段
ALTER TABLE `fader`DROP COLUMN `city`;
ALTER TABLE`fader`DROP COLUMN `name`;
mysql> select * from test.fader;
+----+
| id |
+----+
| 1 |
| 2 |
| 3 |
| 4 |
+----+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
目标172.30.249.154表test.fader_link查数据
mysql> select * from test.fader_link;
ERROR 1296 (HY000): Got error 10000 'Error on remote system: 1054: Unknown column 'name' in 'field list'' from FEDERATED
找不到name列

1.本地的表结构必须与远程的完全一样。
2.远程数据库目前仅限MySQL
3.不支持事务

4.不支持表结构修改
