Inserting a Python datetime.datetime object into MySQL

Question

I have a date column in a MySQL table. I want to insert a datetime.datetime() object into this column. What should I be using in the execute statement?

Answer 1

when iserting into t-sql

this fails:

select CONVERT(datetime,'2019-09-13 09:04:35.823312',21)

this works:

select CONVERT(datetime,'2019-09-13 09:04:35.823',21)

easy way:

regexp = re.compile(r'\.(\d{6})')
def to_splunk_iso(dt):
    """Converts the datetime object to Splunk isoformat string."""
    # 6-digits string.
    microseconds = regexp.search(dt).group(1)
    return regexp.sub('.%d' % round(float(microseconds) / 1000), dt)
