Answer 1

A quick/easy method to insert date or datetime into MySQL is to use the format 'yyyy-MM-dd', or datetime as 'yyyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss'.

Try this

DateTime theDate = DateTime.Now;
theDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd H:mm:ss");

Make your SQL look like this.

insert into mytable (date_time_field) value ('2013-09-09 03:44:00');
