sql timestamp - MySQL 1292 Incorrect datetime value

Question

I am getting this error when I try to insert '2011/03/13 02:53:50.000000000' into a timestamp column. If I change the 13 to a 15, 14, 12 or 11 it works no problem. I've also tried changing the /'s to -'s and still no-go.

I've looked through some of the other threads related to this error but none seem to apply.

I'm running version 5.7.9.

Answer 1

It took me a while to figure this out...

The problem is that '2011-03-13 02:53:50' is illegal because of daylight saving time switch between 2 and 3 AM, so all time values between 2 and 3 am on any DST introduction day are invalid. Same for '2016-03-13 02:32:21', etc.

Change the system timezone to the one that does not use DST and you should be fine.
