Question

I am recieving this mysql error:

1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near ‘@password)’ at line 1

This is for the sql below:

Update Teacher 
SET TeacherSalt=@salt, TeacherPassword=SHA1(TeacherSalt @password)

What do I need to change so this sql could work?

UPDATE:

Need helping salting the PAssword. If the TeacherPassword and TeacherSalt columns look like this:

TeacherPassword     TeacherSalt

cricket01
sachin01
priggy02

Then after I do this statement:

Update Teacher 
SET    TeacherSalt = @salt, 
       TeacherPassword = SHA1(CONCAT(@password,@salt))

Then the TeacherPassword and TeacherSalt columns both provide blank rows. How can I successfully salt the passwords?

Answer 1

Isn’t it like this? (remove the column TeacherSalt in the SHA1)

Update Teacher 
SET    TeacherSalt = @salt, 
       TeacherPassword = SHA1(CONCAT(@password,@salt))
