  <p>I also tried to follow the guide here and run this command <code>INSTALL PLUGIN federated SONAME 'ha_federatedx.so';</code> but got error <code>ERROR 1126 (HY000): Can't open shared library 'D:\xampp\mysql\lib\plugin\ha_federatedx.so.dll' (errno: 2, The specified module could not be found.</code> . Can anyone tell me how to install the federated engine without re-install xampp? My database version is <code>mysql  Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.10-MariaDB, for Win32 (AMD64)</code></p>
