Is this information top secret? I have been searching now for 2days for the "rprper syntax" I am UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD<'newpassword'> WHERE user = 'root';
After I hit enter I get this 1604 (4600) syntax error check manual for version you are using for correct syntax. I am using this mysql XAMPP package for a BEGINNERS online course for MSQL at lynda.com I think I found the manual but it sdoes not make any sense to me I AM A BEGINNER!!!!! So who do I have to pay homage too in order to be enlightened to the proper syntax? So far this MySQL has been on GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!!

I did check google and bing and Yahoo and other forum like this one. I do not think that it was as much that I could not find the answer but that I could not understand and thus process the information that I was viewing. I have BTW received from one of the instructors at lynda.com the information about the syntax a matter of "( )" vs "< > ". Your comment was quite helpful in contributing to the "Mysql GREAT Big Pain in the ASS" issue.

Yes ur,

I was using <> instead of ()

That simple for such a huge PITA
