Hi MySQL fans ;-), I tried to get some experience with converting between the different password formats as describd here:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Password_hashing.html So I took this sample mysql> UPDATE user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('mypass') -> WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; modified it a bit and found out that sometimes it would not let me do this with an logical operator like = but instead wants LIKE or RLIKE. I am using 4.1 alpha , so it is possible hat this is a bug of course. Does anybody have similar experience ? mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=OLD_PASSWORD('mypassword') WHERE Host like 'localhost' AND User like 'root'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 0 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=OLD_PASSWORD('mypassword') WHERE Host rlike 'localhost' AND User rlike 'root'; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.24 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0 See that finally the RLIKE worked. So Ia m a bit confused now as I would have expected the LIKE function to work, but perhaps this is a special case ?? Any reply appreciated. -- --- Valentin Nils Internet Technology E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.knowd.co.jp Personal URL: http://www.knowd.co.jp/staff/nils -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
