gnucash and mysql: Incorrect datetime value for column 'post_date'

[Joerg Diederich]

Hi Maf,

thank you very much for this hint. I guess it points into the right direction. I've just checked my xml file and indeed, there is an entry with such a strange date. I will try to fix it as suggested and look, if I can save the data into my mysql database.

Joerg
