[Maria-developers] federated bug: Bug #61526 create table .. like .. federated table crashes with auto_increment column

hi all: I try to fix the bug: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=61526. but after dig the code, I found that the federated seems don't support "create table xx like yy". the function miss the "share->connect_string", so it always report: ERROR 1 (HY000): server name: '' doesn't exist! from the page: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/about-federatedx, it says: The FederatedX Storage Engine is a fork of the Federated Storage Engine, the latter of the two no longer being maintained by Oracle. The purpose of FederatedX is to keep this storage engine's development progressing-- to both add new features as well as fix old bugs. is it really? so will oracle accept the patch? Thanks!
