Hi John,

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/date-and-time-types.html includes
some information about acceptable literal forms for dates and times.

'Thu May 21 03:15:28 +0000 2009' is not an acceptable literal form but
this is how to parse it APART from the time zone component. I could not
see from the documentation how to specify the time zone component so the
format below IGNORES the time zone.

mysql> create table t(d datetime);

mysql> insert into t(d) values(str_to_date('Thu May 21 03:15:28 +0000 2009', 
'%a %b %e %H:%i:%s +0000 %Y'));

mysql> select * from t;
+---------------------+
| d                   |
+---------------------+
| 2009-05-21 03:15:28 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
