Wow! I just found the Federated Storage Engine.
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-federated-storage.html
It's not in our SHOW ENGINES though.
I still welcome comments.
You need MySQL MaxDB version (at least on windows), which is
precompiled using --with-federated-storage-engine
That article doesn't state it, and I think I had to stumble across
this in the Federated engine discussion forum @ MySQL
It's a very useful storage type, particularly if you have a lot of
records with recent records (eg last 1 month) online, and a bunch
compressed or as ARCHIVE tables on a near-line storage server for
your older data (eg older than 1 month)
HTH
