1432 - Can't create federated table. The data source connection string %s is not in the correct format

Question

I am having issue in federating data from remote server into my local machine. My Remote table is MyISAM , when i tried to execute

CREATE TABLE `wtc_test (
    `wtc_companyworkday_id` bigint(20) DEFAULT NULL,
) ENGINE=FEDERATED  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
CONNECTION='mysql://pentah:0p@[email protected]**.*.*:3306/replica/wtc_test';

I got Following error :-

[Err] 1432 - Can't create federated table. The data source connection string 'mysql://pentah:0p@[email protected]*.*:3306/replica/wtc_test' is not in the correct format

The reason i see is, my password contains '@' character, can some one help me .

Answer 1

AS per the MySQL documentation, When using a CONNECTION string, you cannot use an '@' character in the password. You can get round this limitation by using "create server" statement.

For Example:

CREATE SERVER fedlink
FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER mysql
OPTIONS (USER 'USERNAME', HOST 'Host_IP', DATABASE 'DB_NAME', 
PORT '3306',Password 'PASSWORD');

Once Server Link is created, To create table that uses this connection:

CREATE TABLE test_table (
id     INT(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name   VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
other  INT(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY  (id),
INDEX name (name),
INDEX other_key (other)
)
ENGINE=FEDERATED
DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
CONNECTION='fedlink/test_table';
