MySQL Error 4122: Invalid Timestamp Format
Description
This error indicates that MySQL encountered a date or time string that does not conform to its expected timestamp format. It typically occurs when inserting or updating data into a `TIMESTAMP` or `DATETIME` column, or when a User-Defined Function (UDF) processes an incorrectly formatted timestamp value.
Error Message
Invalid timestamp format in %s udf
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect Date/Time String Format
The provided string for a timestamp column or function does not match MySQL's accepted formats (e.g., 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS').
Out-of-Range Date/Time Values
The timestamp string contains values that are logically impossible, such as a month greater than 12 or a day greater than 31.
Incompatible Data Type Usage
An application sends data that is not intended to be a timestamp to a context that explicitly expects one, like a `TIMESTAMP` column or a UDF.
Locale-Specific Format Discrepancies
Date/time strings generated in a specific locale might not be correctly interpreted by MySQL, which expects standard SQL formats.
