Needs to be defined in your table class currently; I always use DBIC to 
generate my CREATE TABLE statements so I'm defining all my data types

It'll work with any db for which the datetime_parser method on the 
appropriate Storage class returns a suitable class/object. I've done 
sqlite, mysql, pg, db and (hopefully) SQL Server; testing of the rest 
and suitable patches would be very welcome.
