Inserting Date and Time Issues

Question

Hi All,
I have a very simple select query as follows... UPLOAD_DATE is held in table1 in the following format:     23/01/2012 13:04:36
<cfquery name="test" datasource="test">
SELECT  UPLOAD_DATE
FROM     TABLE1
</cfquery>
and I loop around the above query to insert into another table...
<cfloop query="test">
     <cfquery name="make_tfer2" datasource="test">
          INSERT INTO TABLE2
               (UPLOAD_DATE)
          VALUES
               (#test.UPLOAD_DATE#)
     </cfloop>
</cfloop>
But, when I insert into table2 it inserts the date as:  23/01/2012 .... How do I correct this code so I can insert the date as:   23/01/2012 13:04:36 ????

Two suggestions (just to answer the immediate question):
1) Make sure the datatype of the column Upload_date in Table2 is datetime (not just date).
2) Try something like
<cfoutput query="test">
    <cfset date=dateFormat(parseDatetime(upload_date),"dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss")>
    <cfquery name="make_tfer2" datasource="test">
        INSERT INTO TABLE2 (UPLOAD_DATE)
        VALUES #date#
    </cfquery>
</cfoutput>
