Dear Vinayakam: Please do take some time out and read my reply *correctly*. It not only gave him the answer to whatever he wanted but also pointed out that he should've figured it out himself. MySQL has some very good docs. If there was an answer to his problem it would be in there. Since its not there, its sufficient to assume that he'll have to do it himself ( Isn't that the whole point of FOSS / Linux ? ). There are only so many ways to obfuscate your password. So my point still stood - he should've figured it out himself
In my opinion, he compared MySQL to Oracle to put across his point.
So? He had a specific requirement and many people do have such requirements. I asked him to file a bug report with MySQL so that they may include it as a feature in one of their future releases. Instead of copying features from other softwares if he can contribute an original feature that would be a good thing :)
