I am trying to read a MySQL db record using this simple code in Google Apps Script:

function testConn(){

  // make the connection
  var connection = Jdbc.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://" + DB.URL + ":" + DB.PORT + "/" + DB.DATABASE, DB.USERNAME, DB.PASSWORD);

  // perform the query
  var SQLstatement = connection.createStatement();
  var result = SQLstatement.executeQuery("SELECT date_available FROM oc_product where model = 'B23-U57-U57'");
  var colNum = result.getMetaData().getColumnCount();

  while(result.next()) {
    var res = {};
    for (var i=1; i<= colNum; i++) {
      var label = result.getMetaData().getColumnLabel(i);
      if (result.getMetaData().getColumnTypeName(i) == "DATE") {
        var val = result.getDate(i);
      } else {
        var val = result.getString(i);
      }
      res[label] = (val);
    }    
    Logger.log(JSON.stringify(res, null, 4));
  }
}

Because the date_available is "0000-00-00", this code throws error

Value '0000-00-00' can not be represented as

As suggested here I tried to use connection URL with parameter

?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull

But that also threw an error

The following connection properties are unsupported: zeroDateTimeBehavior.

What am I missing? Is this Google bug? Why this connection property is not supported? Is there any workaround apart of altering the SQL query?

Not without altering SQL unfortunately. But for reference this is the way with altering the SQL:

I have used this recommendation: How to convert timestamp to datetime in MySQL?. And use the FROM_UNIXTIME() function in MySql. The only draw back was that a 0000-00-00 date will be imported in the spreadsheet as 1970-01-01 00:00:00.0 For me however this is not a problem at the moment.

Example:

var rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT `Subscriptions`.`SubscriptionId`,
  `Subscriptions`.`ItemId`, `Subscriptions`.`AccountId`,
  `Subscriptions`.`ContactId`,
  from_unixtime( unix_timestamp(TIMESTAMP( `Subscriptions`.`DateStart` ) ) ),
  from_unixtime( unix_timestamp(TIMESTAMP( `Subscriptions`.`DateEnd` ) ) ),
  `Subscriptions`.`AutoRenewal`,`Subscriptions`.`Invoice` from `Subscriptions`")

I got around this issue by passing date twice, once converted to seconds and then the actual date value:

"SELECT TO_SECONDS(date_available), date_available FROM oc_product where model = 'B23-U57-U57'"

Next, check for the zero date and no include it in the result process:

var val;
var da = results.getDouble(1);  
if(da === 0) val = null;
else var = new Date(results.getString(2));
