Question

I have a database table with a datetime column. Everything works fine if a make an Insert using the current date :

INSERT INTO table VALUES ('field1', now(), 'field2');

But it returns NULL when I try to insert a date in the future. I do this :

INSERT INTO table VALUES ('field1', '2011-07-01 00:00:00', 'field2');

What’s wrong with this query ??

nb. It works fine when I insert the current date, and then make an update using DATE_ADD() But it’s complicated, there’s nothing easier to do this ??

thanks !

Sorry, my bad :/

I forgot a column before in my sql query, that’s why it returned NULL…

In the end a basic INSERT like ‘2014-01-00 00:00:00’ works fine on a datetime (even if you don’t put the hh:mm:ss).
