You have to use the custom parser from str:

let date_str = "2020-04-12 22:10:57.000+02";
// convert the string into DateTime<FixedOffset>
let datetime = DateTime::parse_from_str(&date_str, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%.f%#z").unwrap();
// convert the string into DateTime<Utc> or other timezone
let datetime_utc = datetime.with_timezone(&Utc);

Extra info:

  • %.f => .026490: Similar to .%f but left-aligned. These all consume the leading dot.
  • %#z => +09: Parsing only: Same as %z but allows minutes to be missing or present.

For more info, see this awnser.

The Postgres type TIMESTAMP is only convertible to chrono's NaiveDateTime.

In order to convert to chrono's DateTime<Utc>, you must use the Postgres type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE for your column.
