DB Connect MySQL can't parse timestamp

Hello,

I am using DB connect 3.1.1 to get data from MySQL. I have 15 working inputs with rising id column and timestamp (DATETIME) to index data. Server and table structure is same for all inputs.
But for 4 next inputs, I get this message in db_connect_server.log :

The timestamp column is also DATETIME and everything is fine in GUI wizard to select column for timestamp. Please do you have any idea what can be wrong?

Did you resolve this ? I have the exact same problem at the moment. My same query worked in version 2.4 we upgraded to 3.1.1 and now same query same data input doesn't work due to time format with the same error you had.

"Index 19" is, if I count correctly, the "." separating seconds from the "0" for tenths of a second. That brings up a couple of possibilities. First, double check against a known-good one (one that works) exactly what type of data the data and time is coming from. Then check exactly what the query is you are running. I'll bet either the column types are different, or there's a cast/convert (or whatever MySQL uses for that) in the ones that work. For that matter, what's the timestamp time specifier you put into the GUI? (Do you still have to do that?)
