Thanks all, this looks exactly like what i'm looking for. However, when I create the federated table, it says it was successful but creates the table as Myisam.

You can use FEDERATED to access tables on other MySQL servers. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/federated-storage-engine.html -- Paul DuBois, MySQL Documentation Team Madison, Wisconsin, USA MySQL AB, www.mysql.com --------------------------------- How low will we go?

As I said earlier you will need the Mysql-Max Binary for the FEDERATED engine to work, you can get what version you are running by logging into mysql via the CLI, or with a SHOW VERSION(); Kishore Jalleda
