Question

I have a MySQL database table on AWS RDS which has a column named upload_date whose TYPE is TIMESTAMP and DEFAULT is current_timestamp.

I’ve done the same thing in my local MySQL db.

When I invoke the rst.getTimestamp(“upload_date”) in my local db connection, it works great.
However when I try the same thing on my AWS RDS MySQL, I get this exception

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The issue was:

I had ALTERed the table to add this new column – so the previously entered rows had

00-00-00 00:00 ( or something similar )

That caused the above expection.

FIX:

UPDATE FORUM SET UPLOAD_DATE = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
