Description:
On a remote computer, I create a table with ' ' in the name.
On a local computer, I try to create a matching federated table.
It doesn't work, because spaces aren't allowed for.

On a remote computer, I create a table with 'ñ in the name.
On a local computer, I try to create a matching federated table.
It doesn't work, because n-tildes are not allowed for.

I am aware that there are reasons for this,
but the documentation says that CREATE works.
If it's hard, then just document as a limitation:
CREATE doesn't work if table name contains spaces or non-ASCII.

How to repeat:
On remote computer, say:
        USE test
        CREATE TABLE `The Rain` (s1 INT);

On local computer, say:
        USE test
        CREATE TABLE `The Rain` (s1 INT, PRIMARY KEY (s1), s2 INT)
        ENGINE=FEDERATED
        CONNECTION='mysql://Remote@192.168.1.106/test/The Rain';
        /* Change User and Host to what's appropriate for you. */

The statement will fail.

On local computer, say:
        USE test
        CREATE TABLE `The Rain` (s1 INT, PRIMARY KEY (s1), s2 INT)
        ENGINE=FEDERATED
        CONNECTION='mysql://Remote@192.168.1.106/test/`The Rain`';
        /* Change User and Host to what's appropriate for you. */

The statement will fail again.

On remote computer, say:
        SET NAMES utf8;
        USE test
        create table ñ (s1 char(5) character set ucs2);

        On local computer, say:
        SET NAMES utf8;
        create table ñ (s1 char(5) character set ucs2)
        engine=federated
        CONNECTION='mysql://Remote@192.168.1.106/test/ñ';
        /* Change User and Host to what's appropriate for you. */

The statement will fail again.
