Hello, A new question has been asked in "Connect" by shlomisut: -------------------------------- Hi We're currently testing usage of MySQL Federated engine, used for read-only cached tables. The Connect engine looks like a very interesting option as it will allow us to use the index/condition push down, thus reducing the amount of network & total query time. Do you have any experience with using Connect as a MySQL engine? migrating to MariaDB is not possible at current time frames, though it is on our roadmap Thanks!
