In this context, we shall discuss what causes Error 1292 and how to fix it quickly.

What triggers MySQL Error 1292 ?

This error appears when the date is not entered in the correct format. If you use data formats such as 00:00:00 0000-00-00 then you will such error since this is not acceptable in MySQL 5.7.

Similarly, this bug can also be noticed when a WHERE or ON clause is used to compare a string and a number in a function.

How to solve MySQL Error 1292

Since this error occurs due to various reasons, we shall discuss how we fixed it in a few scenarios.

i. In the case where we need to input a "DATE" data, we ensure that the correct format is used such as the "yyyy-mm-dd" format.

ii. When you see "Error Code: 1292 - Incorrect date value"

In MySQL 5.7, dat formats such as 0000-00-00 00:00:00 is prohibited and will lead to errors. To resolve this error, we simply modify the configuration file "my.cnf" with the following command;

sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Then in this file, we locate the "[mysqld]" attribute and add the following line data;

sql_mode="NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

Next, save the file and then do a restart of the MySQL service with the following command;

sudo service mysql restart

iii. In another case, our client got an Error message "1292 – Truncated incorrect DOUBLE value"

This was triggered when trying to compare a number to a string with a WHERE or ON clause code.

To fix this, we simply turn off the "strict mode" and the error will be translated as just a warning and then the process will be allowed to proceed without any issues.
