title: What is the correct DateTime format for MySQL Database?
body: <p>I am Inserting this <code>DateTime</code> data <code>'12/21/2012 1:13:58 PM'</code> into my MySQL Database using this SQL string:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String Query = "INSERT INTO `restaurantdb`.`stocksdb` 
                    (`stock_ID`,`stock_dateUpdated`) 
                    VALUES ('@stockID' '@dateUpdated');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I receive this error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Incorrect datetime value: '12/21/2012 1:13:58 PM' for column 'stock_dateUpdated' at row 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So what is the right format/value for <code>dateTime</code> to input into a MySQL database?</p>
