YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS。默认情况下，datetime的值范围为1000-01-01 00:00:00至9999-12-31 23:59:59。
当前在LightDB数据库（包括LightDB-X和LightDB-A）已经支持了datetime类型，其实际功能等效于timestamp without time zone。详细使用举例如下：
-- Test alias for datetime
-- test timestamp
-- test timestamp cast
select '2014-12-15 00:20:59'::datetime;
timestamp
--------------------------
Mon Dec 15 00:20:59 2014
(1 row)
select datetime '2014-12-15 00:20:59';
timestamp
--------------------------
Mon Dec 15 00:20:59 2014
(1 row)
-- test create table
--
Create table datetime
(
datetime datetime,
datetime1 date,
primary key (datetime)
);
\d+ datetime;
Table "public.datetime"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Stats target | Description
-----------+-----------------------------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+--------------+-------------

Indexes:
"datetime_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree ("datetime")
insert into datetime values('2014-12-15 00:20:59','2014-12-15');
insert into datetime values('2014-12-15 00:20:00'::datetime,date '2014-12-15');
insert into datetime values(datetime '2014-12-16 00:20:00',date '2014-12-15');
select * from datetime;
datetime | datetime1

Mon Dec 15 00:20:59 2014 | 12-15-2014
