For some reason I can’t save a Time to MySQL. My Column is a datetime and I’ve also tried using a timestamp when I was testing. Here’s my console session below:

 $ ./script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0) >> Event.find 1 # Event id: 1, name: 'Meeting at XXX', start_date: '2009-01-17' >> e.start_date = Time.now => Thu Jan 22 16:40:01 0000 2009 >> e.save => true >> e.start_date => Thu Jan 22 16:40:01 0000 2009 >> e.reload # Event id: 1, name: 'Meeting at XXX', start_date: '2009-01-22'

The time part is just getting ignored in updates and querys.

  1. Turns out it was caused by this old code from from Rails 1 or lower days.

    ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(   :date_month => '%d %b',   :dd_mm_yyyy => '%d/%m/%y',   :yyyy_mm_dd  => '%Y-%m-%d' )  ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS.merge!(     ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Date::Conversions::DATE_FORMATS )

    Removing that solved the problem.
