ERROR: text "<SINGLE QUOTE>2016-08-1" is not like DateTime

See original GitHub issue

This is the error I see in clickhouse when trying to batch insert

2019.04.17 00:08:45.729957 [ 264 ] {0e04b028-f581-4c85-a668-1b3c1d744863} <Error> HTTPHandler: Code: 27, e.displayText() = DB::Exception: Cannot parse input: expected \t before: \'2016-08-12 13:21:32\'\t32767\t\'163.172.36.163\'\t\'185.229.191.169\'\t1522\t1\t0\t0\t0\t1000003\t1000010\t8080\t12724\t16\t\'128110002367193\'\t\'116530121835\'\t968\t968\t968\t\'\'\t\'Amste: (at row 1)

Row 1:
Column 0,   name: received_at,     type: DateTime, ERROR: text "<SINGLE QUOTE>2016-08-1" is not like DateTime

I’m using the same code as is in test here https://github.com/yandex/clickhouse-jdbc/blob/d75f1594b9eebcab200b27bc426b136233b1b927/src/test/java/ru/yandex/clickhouse/integration/BatchInsertsTest.java#L99 Even the same value.

Thus I blame the newer ClickHouse version I’m running (19.4.3.11).

I also encountered this issue today, as it turns out, when you use prepared statement to batch insert values, if you see

Like '163.172.83.181' instead of 163.172.83.181

it means in PreparedStatementParser.java, your sql is not classified as “valuesMode”.

https://github.com/yandex/clickhouse-jdbc/blob/master/src/main/java/ru/yandex/clickhouse/PreparedStatementParser.java#L19

    private static final Pattern VALUES = Pattern.compile(
"(?i)INSERT\\s+INTO\\s+.+VALUES\\s*\\(");

Then, it turns out my SQL is multiple line. like:

insert into table1
  (col1, col2)
values
  (?, ?)

this will not match the regex. So, my work around is, before send sql to clickhouse’s prepare, I replace all \r \n with empty space. Then, the datetime can be inserted into database successfully.

Is this also your case?

I am also facing this issues. And I really do not want to convert string to Date using dateformat in java code? In 2 columns Caused by: java.lang.Throwable: Code: 27, e.displayText() = DB::Exception: Cannot parse input: expected ‘\n’ before: ‘56300000083\t2021-11-10T20:37:08\n+256300000084\t2021-11-10T16:01:01\n+256300000085\t2021-11-10T14:34:16\n+256300000086\t2021-11-10T08:35:05\n+256300000087\t2021-11-10T1’: (at row 83)

Row 82:
