MySQL Incorrect datetime value: '0000-00-00 00:00:00'

Question

I\'ve recently taken over an old project that was created 10 years ago. It uses MySQL 5.1.

Among other things, I need to change the default character set from latin1

Answer 1

Instead of

UPDATE your_table SET your_column = new_valid_value where your_column = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';

Use

UPDATE your_table SET your_column = new_valid_value where your_column = 0;
