Re: Hash password for mysql above 5.7.6

Seems like the documentation is confusing and/or incomplete for 5.7.6.

For example, It does not seem to say what happens if you do

SET PASSWORD FOR ... = PASSWORD('*90E462C373B8CE...');

One would hope that it stores '*90E462C373B8CE...' in the table. That is PASSWORD() is an anti-function: It _prevents_, rather than _performing_, the hashing.
