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
These look like "back ticks", which would cause a problem. Of course, I have not used MySQL, so I can't say for sure.
(`date`)
You should be able to do this:
INSERT INTO some_table(date) VALUES ('{ts '2012-07-04 20:11:00'}')
