NodeOperationError: Invalid time value at parsePostgresError

The n8n stopped unexpectedly, and since then, the PostgreSQL nodes are not functioning correctly. Whenever I run any workflow that includes a query on a table with a timestamp column, I encounter the error “NodeOperationError: Invalid time value.”

I’ve tried creating new instances of n8n, and even after restoring the database backup, the error persists.

Please share your workflow

Below is a simple test node that is returning the error:

Without the date column, it works:

n8n version: 1.34.2 (Self Hosted)
Database : PostgreSQL 16.0 (Debian 16.0-1.pgdg120+1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
Running n8n via Railway
Linux

  • Operating system:

Hey @C3Service,

Can you try updating n8n and see if you still have the same issue?
