Working with Date/Time fields

In order to load data into target database’s Date or Time fields, it should be converted into YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.FFF format. This transformation is done by “Date format” transformation function.

Date Format Transformation Function
  • It is possible to apply multiple date formats.
  • The first format which works is used.
  • If the data is already in the required YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN:SS.FFF format, no conversion is needed.
  • Watch out for leading and trailing spaces, as they may affect transformation accuracy.
  • When loading data into a Time field, the Date portion is ignored.
