I've just merged a useful addition to node-red-contrib-simpletime which enables the date/time output to be formatted to ISO 8601, so that it can be used for most commonly used databases, such as MYSQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, etc.  
The output message is contained in `msg.mysqldt` and takes the format `"2025-11-03 21:01:30"`
