Enter date and time in MySQL using ColdFusion

I am completely lost here.

There is a field of type "datetime" in the MySQL database. I want to populate its datetime with ColdFusion. I found that CreateODBCDateTime must be used to convert to maint format so that MySQL accepts it, so ...

<cfset myDateTime = CreateODBCDateTime("07-04-2012 20:11:00")>

And somewhere later:

<cfquery name="qAddDate">
    INSERT INTO some_table
    (`date`)
    VALUES
    ('#myDateTime#')
</cfquery>

However, I get this error when trying to send data to the database:

You have an error in the SQL syntax; check the manual that matches your version of MySQL server for the correct syntax to use next to '2012-07-04 20:11:00'} ')' on line 8

Line 8 is the date line:

INSERT INTO some_table
(`date`)
VALUES
('{ts '2012-07-04 20:11:00'}')

Can anyone help?

Thank.
