Arithmetic overflow during SQL transaction
<p>Why does inserting '0001-01-01 00:00:01' to a DATETIME field cause an error ?</p>

<p>It's telling me :</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Arithmetic overflow during implicit conversion of VARCHAR value
  '0001-01-01 00:00:01' to a DATETIME field . SQLState:  ZZZZZ
  ErrorCode: 247</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Isn't this a semantic analysis of my request ?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
