mysql allow invalid dates on select

Question

For some reason, I can\'t even select invalid dates in my table. How do I force select? I just receive:

select * from table
>> Mysql2::Error: Invalid date:         


        

Answer 1

• Log into mysql in the command line mysql -u root -p
• Enter your password
• View the current sql-modes using SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;
• Copy the current modes (add or delete modes as needed) and paste in next step.
• Set the sql-modes using SET GLOBAL sql_mode = 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,ALLOW_INVALID_DATES';
• This adds ALLOW_INVALID_DATES and removes both NO_ZERO_DATE, NO_ZERO_IN_DATE
• Restart the MySQL server /etc/init.d/mysql start
