[mythtv-users] Need help with mysql syntax

[judithc]

From what I remember flush privileges is needed or restart service.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Need help with mysql syntax 
 
I am in the process of (finally) upgrading from MythBuntu 10.04 to MythBuntu 12.04 so I'll be ready (readier?) for the next LTS release.

I am building the new system on a separate disk, so I can switch back and forth with a reboot.
I have the mysql dump from the 10.04 system and have replaced the default mythconverg database with the backup, but...

I want to change the passwords in the user table for {user=mythtv, host=localhost} to be the one listed in the new system's /etc/mythtv/config.xml rather than the one from the old system.  I am getting nowhere and getting there really fast.

Apparently, the following is not the right way to get this done.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Attempted Procedure:
1) Obtain mysql administrator username and password from /etc/mysql/debian.cnf and substitute their values for "admin" and "admin_pwd" in the following commands.
2) Obtain the mythtv user's mysql password for the mythconverg database from /etc/mythtv/config.xml and substitute its value for "mythtv_pwd" in the following commands.
3) Do the following:
$mysql -u admin -padmin_pwd
> USE mysql;
> SELECT host, user, password FROM user;
> UPDATE user SET password=password('mythtv_pwd') WHERE user='mythtv' AND host='localhost';

The response I get is:
Query OK; 0 rows affected ...
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0

How should I do this, since my SQL syntax knowledge won't fill a thimble?

TIA,
Craig.
