Unable to import data from Azure SQL due to unsupported date format
I am having trouble importing data from Microsoft Azure SQL Database.
My tables have a column of datetimeoffset(3) type which Zoho doesn't identify as Date.If change the Data Type to Date manually, it will result in the following warning: "The chosen format is not compatible with the column values. Are you sure, you want to apply the selected format?".
After the warning is ignored, the data looks fine, but the next synchronization may fail with an error "Invalid Date value". When it happens, I have no other solution to fix the sync, rather than change the Data Type to Plain Text or recreate the table in Zoho completely. Here is an example of what I see in Zoho for timestamp(3) columns of Azure SQL Server:
- 2022-03-10 23:15:23.961 +00:00
Here are the Date Formats I tried:
- yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss
- yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS X (This format has been mentioned in a similar issue https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/weird-date-format-how-to-handle-it)
- yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS Z
- yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
Is there anything that can be done to eliminate those errors? Changing column data type in Microsoft Azure SQL Database is not an option.
Thanks.
