Problem Note 66438: You see the message "The informat $ could not be loaded, probably due to insufficient memory" after attempting to insert data into a MySQL database

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

Warning and error messages might occur when you are loading data into a MySQL database when all of the following circumstances are true:

  • You are inserting a value for a DATE, DATETIME, or TIME column.
  • Your target database is MySQL.
  • The data is loading from a SAS® Stored Process Server.
  • Your release is SAS® 9.4M6 (TS1M6), released in November 2019 or later.

The warning and error in the SAS log are similar to the following examples:

WARNING: The informat $ could not be loaded, probably due to insufficient memory. The default informat will be used instead.
ERROR: During insert: Incorrect datetime value: '           910996696.34724' for column 'column-name' at row 1

The number that is displayed in the error message is the unformatted DATE, DATETIME, or TIME value.

A workaround is to change the properties of the stored process so that the execution option is set to run on a workspace server.
