Inserting date

There must be something on my side but I am somewhat stuck.

I’m inserting data into a table using the following approach:

const p = await getPool(name); // caching the pool because I'm accessing multiple dbs
const insertFbl = 'INSERT INTO fbl SET ?'
const result = p.query(insertFbl, some_object)

some_object has some date fields.

When I run the query I get an error like this (for the sake of testing I did init my date field with new Date()):

Incorrect datetime value: ‘2018-01-21T00:37:07.837Z’ for column ‘feedback_date’ at row 1 at PromisePool.query (/server/node_modules/mysql2/promise.js:344:20) …

On the other hand, if I use some string like moment(somedate).format(‘YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss’), it will insert without any problem.

That’s weird because not only mysql2 is supposed to make the appropriate conversion and moreover I could swear I had already used javascript date variables before.

Any idea?

In your above post, I see the error is saying you’re date looks like '2018-01-21T00:37:07.837Z' which is not a string that MySQL server recognizes as a date. I think it’s the Z character at the end that is throwing it off:

Thanks @sidorares . Learned something new (and cool) about doing prepared stmt in cli.
