Description:
I discovered that MySQL doesn't accept all ISO 8601 dates for a DATETIME column. Specifically, the format YYYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS which is used by XMLRPC processes isn't supported. MySQL will generate a warning and insert 0000-00-00 00:00:00 instead.

Adding support for this would enable people to insert XML-RPC dataTime's without converting it to a different format first.

How to repeat:
Try inserting a DATETIME format of YYYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS (e.g."20070418T01:28:00") into a DATETIME column and observe the warning and result.

This has been around 10 years and it isn't that difficult, why is this still a problem? And I would say while this is pretty easy to work around, it's annoying because this works perfectly fine on Postgres.
