Interesting. Well, the error message is a bug since this isn’t a datetime type, or is it what we’re converting to.
I believe Matt sent me your phpMyAdmin login. I just took a quick look and noticed that you’re using MariaDB. While I realize this is supposed to be MySQL-compatible, there’s obviously a difference here in the storage engine that we have not tested.
Can you see if this patch works as a workaround?
