On IA64 the MySQL client binaries are using shared libraries. This means

that if you install our binary distribution in some other place than

@file{/usr/local/mysql} you need to either modify @file{/etc/ld.so.conf}

or add the path to the directory where you have @file{libmysqlclient.so}

If you are using the old shareware version of MySQL Version

3.21 under Windows, the above command will fail with an error:

@code{parse error near 'SET OPTION password'}.  The fix is in to upgrade

to the current MySQL version, which is freely available.

@code{parse error near 'SET OPTION password'}.  The solution for

this is to download and upgrade to the latest MySQL version,

which is now freely available.

With the current MySQL versions you can easily add new users

and change privileges with @code{GRANT} and @code{REVOKE} commands.
