The MySQL database does not enable the federated module by default. You need to modify the my.cnf configuration. If you are using the Docker version, you can handle the extension situation through volumes:

mysql:
  image: mysql:8.1.0
  volumes:
    - ./storage/mysql-conf:/etc/mysql/conf.d
  environment:
    MYSQL_DATABASE: APES
    MYSQL_USER: APES
    MYSQL_PASSWORD: APES
    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: APES
  restart: always
  networks:
    - APES

Create a new ./storage/mysql-conf/federated.cnf file

[mysqld]
federated

Restart MySQL

docker compose up -d mysql

Check if federated is activated

show engines
