    try{
        var dateArray=sqlDate.trim().split(" ");
        var dateString=dateArray[0];
        if(dateArray.length>1){timeString=dateArray[1];}
        console.log(timeString);
        var yyyymmddArray=dateString.trim().split("-");
        var hhmmssArray=timeString.trim().split(":");
        returnValue = new Date(yyyymmddArray[0], (yyyymmddArray[1]-1), yyyymmddArray[2], hhmmssArray[0], hhmmssArray[1], hhmmssArray[2]);
    }catch(err){
        console.log("Error: "+ err.message);
    }
    return returnValue;
