The MEMORY storage engine, mostly used as a temporary or read-only method to retrieve data from other tables, provides replication and query cache support. It supports hash and B-tree indexes, as well as data encryption for security reasons. Alternatively, users can schedule data backup and recovery.

FEDERATED

FEDERATED

The storage engine allows users to create a table with the identical structure and to retrieve data by connecting to a remote server. Local data can be stored either on a local or remote MySQL instance. In the local directory, only the .frm file is created. It is possible to deploy FEDERATED on a local server after the table is created on the remote server. In addition, the query syntax is checked on the local server.
