Insert date and time into MySQL with ColdFusion

Question

I am totally lost here.

There is a field of type \"datetime\" in MySQL database. I want to populate it with a datetime generated by ColdFusion program. I found that

You do not need quotes around date objects, only strings. Removing the quotes should resolve your syntax error:

  INSERT INTO some_table (`date`)
  VALUES ( #myDateTime# )

Though you should get into the habit of using cfqueryparam

  INSERT INTO some_table (`date`)
  VALUES (  )

... OR if it is a valid/parseable US date string, you could skip the createODBCDate and just use:

  INSERT INTO some_table (`date`)
  VALUES (  )
