MySQL的：试图为root设置一个密码，错误SQL语法

Question

这段代码是从学习MySQL和MariaDB的书：

mysql -u root -p -e "SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'127.0.0.1' PASSWORD('new_pwd');" 

而且我得到这个错误：

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for th 
e right syntax to use near 'PASSWORD('new_pwd')' at line 1 

这本书是否正确？这个语法不是旧的吗？有什么问题？

Answer 1

尝试：

mysql -u root -p -e "SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'127.0.0.1' = PASSWORD('new_pwd');"
