HIVE_BAD_DATA: Error parsing field value '2022-12-14T06:51:14.710Z'

Question

I face this problem when trying to query from Athena, the data is stored in S3 bucket. If I exclude the timestamp column from `SELECT` statement, it can still be queried. Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem? Changing the `access_at` field in log record maybe difficult since the task is migrating logs data from RDS.

```
the table format is as below
```
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE `user_report`(

Accepted Answer

My suggestion would be to define the column as text as you are unable to convert before storing the timestamp.
You could use something similar to the below query to parse it into a date or use the CAST function

```
select date_parse(substr('2022-12-14T06:51:14.710Z',1,24),'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%s.%fZ') 
```
