I am encountering a weird problem. I'm getting the following SQL error on an INSERT command.

com.mysql.cj.jdbc.exceptions.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Incorrect datetime value: '1969-12-31 18:00:00.0' for column...
The column is a TIMESTAMP in mySQL.

I pasted the SQL statement directly out of my log into phpMyAdmin, and it worked.  When I change the date to '2021-08-27 01:03:18.1077537'
it also works.

I tried it on my production AWS server.  The server timezone was different but same failure with '1970-01-01 00:00:00.0'

I'm running Win10 with latest updates (AWS Linux 2 on production)
TC 9.0.16
mysql-connector-java-8.0.26.jar
mysql5.7.19

I found some discussions on the web from around 2016. But it just said to update the connector and TC. My versions are already way
past 2016 versions.

My biggest concern is that some dates work and some don't.  If I have to avoid dates that fail, I can probably do that.  But right now, I don't know what dates are going to work and what dates are going to fail.

Am I missing something obvious?  I've never had a SQL statement that failed consistently on TC but worked when pasted into phpMyAdmin.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Jerry

There is a setting in the driver called something like "null means zero datetime" which may confuse the heck out of TIMESTAMP columns, which expect a UNIX-epoch timestamp value.

The datetime value '1969-12-31 18:00:00.0' you may recognize as the start of the UNIX Epoch minus 6 hours, which suggests to me that your system is running in Us-Mountain Time, 6 hours behind UTC in the summer.

I would bet that you are trying to insert a NULL into a TIMESTAMP, and that your driver is using MDT as your time zone, trying to convert NULL -> 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC -> 1969-12-31 18:00:00 MDT -> boom, since the minimum allowed TIMESTAMP value is 1970-01-01 00:00:00.

Might I ask why you are using a TIMESTAMP field? IMHO they aren't good for much...

Chris,  thanks for the info.  Why timestamp?  Unfortunately, some of this code was written 20+ years ago when I was a lot less knowledgeable... But too difficult to change now.

I'm not inserting nulls.  Always a quoted date/time string.

You are correct about the timezone.  That's on my dev laptop, and I never got around to setting the timezone stuff correctly on my my dev machine.  However, my production server (Linux) does have the timezones all set correctly.  My insert statement has a value of "new Timestamp(0).toString()".  On the production server, this becomes '1970-01-01 00:00:00.0' and it still fails on production.

Is the jdbc driver enforcing the minimum timestamp value? mySQL accepts 1969-12-31 18:00:00.0 in the insert statement. mySQL may be adjusting the time +6 on my laptop back up the epoch value before storing it.  But the situation still remains that the same insert statement works on phpMyAdmin and fails on TC.

The timezone thing is just adding unnecessary complexity to the problem.  The production server fails on TC with '1970-01-01 00:00:00.0' in the insert statement, but works with that value when inserted into mySQL pasting the insert statement into phpMyAdmin.

The exception is com.mysql.cj.jdbc.exceptions.MysqlDataTruncation. Is the driver detecting this and generating the exception?  Or does the insert statement get all the way to mySQL and mySQL fails back to the driver followed by the driver throwing the exception?

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/Timestamp.html

See the constructor: public Timestamp(long time)

. . . just my two cents
/mde/

|Timestamp <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/Timestamp.html#Timestamp-long->(long time)|
Constructs a |Timestamp| object using a milliseconds time value.
|time| - milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT. A negative number is the number of milliseconds before January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT.

This says that a timestamp can be before the epoch, no minimum time, which agrees with what I'm seeing via phpMyAdmin.  Which means that what I'm providing in the sql insert statement should be accepted regardless of timezone factors. Seems to me there's a bug in the TC driver (??)  And the error message I'm getting says "data truncation", which at best is incorrect wording.  Not sure how any truncation could occur on a date string that parses to (long)0.  I thought the .0 fractions of a second on the end of the string could be the cause of 'truncation'.  However, the 6-digit microseconds on '2021-08-27 01:03:18.107753' does not cause truncation error.


Hi, Jerry-

See the range in the TIMESTAMP section in:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/date-and-time-type-syntax.html

+1

Just because java.sql.Timestamp represents a (MySQL) TIMESTAMP value doesn't mean that the database won't balk at certain values.

Also, be sure to check out the paragraph on timestamp conversion to and from UTC in:

     https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/datetime.html

Finally, I would enable logging on your MySQL server to get a clear picture of what's taking place.  That should tell you exactly where the error is detected.

You should be able to enable the "audit" log which records SQL queries in a separate log file.

In addition, I think it would be worth looking at your database with
the MySQL command line client to see what it actually inserts in the
database when the error is reported.

Probably nothing gets inserted. :)
