Hi there,

Did I just see in the documentation that the "comment" clause
is being misused to supply a connection string for the federated
engine?

If so, I sure hope it will be changed before the final 5.0 release.

"comment" is next to useless like this. It's already being misused
by InnoDB to describe the FK constraints...

What's wrong with introducing a new clause?

With regards,
