Passwords for MySQL

[aeneas]

It appears as though I also experienced the problem described in  this
<http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-2-4-7-remote-mysql-error-tt3767275.html>  
post.  When using a strong password produced by a password generator I
received the error described as -

By changing to a simple (6 alphabetic characters) password the error went
away.  Insofar as MySQL supports quite complex passwords that may include a
good variety of special characters, it appears as though this problem has
something to do with GNUcash.

Therefore, the question becomes, "what password restrictions does GNUcash
impose?".  Is this restriction particular to MySQL or possibly a consequence
of having support also for PostgreSQL?
