MS SQL parameter to ignore 'alleged' datetime issues

FME dates are irritating when working with MS SQL as I can handle dates more effectively in MS SQL.

I have a workbench that processes 100+ CSV files, each file has a different structure so I process each file dynamically.

Dates can be formatted as 19 Sep 2011 13:09:00 or 19 Sep 2011 13:09 which MS SQL is happy enough with but FME isn't.


At the moment I use a Python script to load the full file and do a regex replace to resolve the FME date issue.

It's really bad that FME simply nullifies any date issue so it is quite possible we are unaware of issues.
