### Rotating root credentials in MySQL 5.6
The default root rotation setup for MySQL uses the `ALTER USER` syntax present
in MySQL 5.7 and up. For MySQL 5.6, the [root rotation
statements](/api/secret/databases/index.html#root_rotation_statements)
must be configured to use the old `SET PASSWORD` syntax. For example:
```text
$ vault write database/config/my-mysql-database \
plugin_name=mysql-database-plugin \
connection_url="{{username}}:{{password}}@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/" \
root_rotation_statements="SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('{{password}}')" \
allowed_roles="my-role" \
username="root" \
password="mysql"
```
For a guide in root credential rotation, see [Database Root Credential
Rotation](/guides/secret-mgmt/db-root-rotation.html).
