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

This is what I did to solve my problem. I tested in local MySQL 5.7 ubuntu 18.04.

set global sql_mode="NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION";

Before running this query globally I added a cnf file in /etc/mysql/conf.d directory. The cnf file name is mysql.cnf and codes

[mysqld]
sql_mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ALLOW_INVALID_DATES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Then I restart mysql

sudo service mysql restart

Hope this can help someone.
