I was trying to insert into SQL database but getting the same error as in the above question. What i have done is, convert the index of the data frame to the column with a label 'index'.

df.reset_index(level=0, inplace=True)  

Rename the column name 'index' to 'DateTime' by using this code.

df = df.rename(columns={'index': 'DateTime'})

Change the datatype to the 'datetime64'.

df['DateTime'] = df['DateTime'].astype('datetime64')

Store it in the sql database using these code.

engine = create_engine('mysql+mysqlconnector://root:Password@localhost/generation_data', echo=True)
df.to_sql(con=engine, name='test', if_exists='replace')
