Modify column before inserting XML value to MySQL table -

i'm trying import xml file mysql table. in xml file there timestamp in <currenttime> in following format:

2016-01-26t09:52:19.3420655+01:00

this timstamp should go corresponding datetime currenttime column in table. did following

load xml infile 'xxx.xml' table test.events rows identified '<event>' set currenttime = str_to_date(currenttime, '%y-%m-%dt%h:%i:%s.%f'); 

but quits error

error code: 1292. incorrect datetime value: '2016-01-25t16:22:24.1840792+01:00' column 'currenttime' @ row 1

so seems doesn't convert string @ all. why?

i think error thrown when string value file loaded directly column. error thrown before set clause.

here's abbreviated example of how use user-defined variables pass value of field down set, bypassing assignment column.

note columns _row , account_number populated directly first 2 fields in file. later fields in file assigned user-defined variables (identifiers beginning @.

the set clause evaluates user-defined variables, , assigns result of expression actual column in table.

in example, "dates" formatted yyyymmdd. used str_to_date() function have string converted proper date.

i abbreviated sample somewhat, demonstrates approach of reading field values user-defined variables.

create table _import_water (`_row`             int ,`account_number`   varchar(255) ,`total_due`        decimal(18,2) ,`end_date`         date ,`start_date`       date ,`ccf`              decimal(18,4) )  load data local infile '//server/share$/users/me/mydir/myfile.csv' table _import_water fields terminated ',' optionally enclosed '"' lines terminated '\r\n' ignore 1 lines (_row ,account_number ,@total_due ,@end_date ,@start_date ,@ccf ) set `total_due`        = nullif(@total_due,'')   , `end_date`         = str_to_date(@end_date,'%y%m%d')   , `start_date`       = str_to_date(@start_date,'%y%m%d')   , `ccf`              = nullif(@ccf,'') 

---

also, doesn't there's problem str_to_date, seems evaluate fine.

testing...

select str_to_date('2016-01-25t16:22:24.1840792+01:00','%y-%m-%dt%h:%i:%s.%f') mydatetime 

returns:
