DELIMITER //

#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 'select concat( char(round(rand()*36)+1), char(round(rand()*36)+1), char(round(ra' at line 6

Answer 1

You are missing a closing ) on this line:

SELECT @randomPass := select concat( char(round(rand()*36)+1), char(round(rand()*36)+1), char(round(rand()*36)+1);

should be

SELECT @randomPass := select concat( char(round(rand()*36)+1), char(round(rand()*36)+1), char(round(rand()*36)+1));
