Hi, I want to change the password of the User( which is root) in the table 'user' from the database 'mysql'.
I use the String sql = "update user set Password=password('somePassWord') where User='root'"; I see from MySql Query Browser the password really changed ! Before I stop the mysql from Service in Control Panel of my machine Window Xp, I can still make connection to the mysql database with the old password of the user 'root'. Only when I Stop and Start again the mysql from Service in Control Panel , the connection to the mysql database with the old password of the user 'root' will fail, and with the new password of the user 'root' will succeed ! My question is I hope the new password will be effective for connection immediately without ' Stop and Start ' the mysql Service. Thanks for your help ! NanFei
