我知道这篇文章有点旧，但似乎很多人都遇到了联合引擎的问题。

当通过 yum 安装 mysql 二进制文件时，您已经拥有 HA（高可用性）插件。您只需在 mysql CLI 中加载插件即可。

基本流程如下：

启动 mysqld（如果尚未启动）。确保此时“federated”不在 /etc/my.cnf 中。

EX：此时，/etc/my.cnf 在标准 YUM 安装中将如下所示......

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

使用 root（或具有足够权限的其他帐户）登录 mysql CLI。

Type:   show engines;

此时您应该看不到 FEDERATED 引擎，如下所示：

mysql> show engines;
+------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+---    -----------+------+------------+
| Engine     | Support | Comment                                                    |  Transactions | XA   | Savepoints |
+------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--- -----------+------+------------+
| MRG_MYISAM | YES     | Collection of identical MyISAM tables                      | NO               | NO   | NO         |
| CSV        | YES     | CSV storage engine                                         | NO            | NO   | NO         |
| MyISAM     | DEFAULT | Default engine as of MySQL 3.23 with great performance     | NO           | NO   | NO         |
| InnoDB     | YES     | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | YES          | YES  | YES        |
| MEMORY     | YES     | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables  | NO            | NO   | NO         |
+------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

--> 结束粘贴

要启用联合引擎，请键入以下内容：

install plugin federated soname 'ha_federated.so'

现在，当您“显示引擎”时，您将看到 FEDERATED 引擎，但已关闭...

它看起来像这样：

    mysql> show engines;
    +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
    | Engine     | Support | Comment                                                    | Transactions | XA   | Savepoints |
    +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
    | FEDERATED  | NO      | Federated MySQL storage engine                             | NULL         | NULL | NULL       |
    | CSV        | YES     | CSV storage engine                                         | NO           | NO   | NO         |
    | MyISAM     | DEFAULT | Default engine as of MySQL 3.23 with great performance     | NO           | NO   | NO         |
    | InnoDB     | YES     | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | YES          | YES  | YES        |
    | MEMORY     | YES     | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables  | NO           | NO   | NO         |
   | MRG_MYISAM | YES     | Collection of identical MyISAM tables                      | NO           | NO   | NO         |
    +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
    6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

您现在可以安全地将“federated”行添加到 /etc/my.cnf 文件中，如下所示：

    [mysqld]
    datadir=/var/lib/mysql
    socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
    user=mysql
    # Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
    symbolic-links=0
    federated

    [mysqld_safe]
    log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
    pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

重新启动mysqld（服务mysqld重新启动等...）

重启后，返回mysql CLI。

Type 'show engines;'

您现在应该看到 FEDERATED 引擎可用，并且 SUPPORT 为 YES。

    mysql> show engines;
    +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
    | Engine     | Support | Comment                                                    | Transactions | XA   | Savepoints |
    +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
    | FEDERATED  | YES     | Federated MySQL storage engine                             | NO           | NO   | NO         |
    | CSV        | YES     | CSV storage engine                                         | NO           | NO   | NO         |
    | MyISAM     | DEFAULT | Default engine as of MySQL 3.23 with great performance     | NO           | NO   | NO         |
    | InnoDB     | YES     | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | YES          | YES  | YES        |
    | MEMORY     | YES     | Hash based, stored in memory, useful for temporary tables  | NO           | NO   | NO         |
    | MRG_MYISAM | YES     | Collection of identical MyISAM tables                      | NO           | NO   | NO         |
    +------------+---------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------+------+------------+
    6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

您已完成...继续创建联邦表...

祝你好运！

编辑 /etc/my.cnf 并在 [mysqld] 部分中添加以下行：

federated

相当于在命令行中指定--federated
