It sounds very much like you are using <dtml-sqlvar> in your ZSQL to insert=
 
the values. You might try <dtml-sqlvar variable type=3D"string"> which I us=
e 
when inserting DateTime objects. Alternatively you could try straight 
<dtml-var> instead where you don't need a type. <dtml-sqlvar> can be nice 
because it will check for valid sql values but it is a problem trying suppo=
rt 
all possible RDBMS types.
