MySQL: Data truncation: Incorrect datetime value: '2006-10-01 02:22:44'

Question

I\'m getting the following exception updating a row using MySQL via JDBC:

com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Incorrect datetime value: \

Answer 1

Solved it.

Turns out that the 1st of October 2006 in South Australia was the start of daylight savings. Clocks get set forward one hour at 2.00am, so there was no 2:22am on that date: it went straight from 2:00am to 3:01am.

I'll change the db timezone to UTC, which should solve this issue.
