Actually, this is something that I've been meaning to raise, but I've been
beaten to it. Oracle has no concept of a datetime data type, it just has
date.

Now, I could just declare date columns as datetime columns in the table
class, but this seems to contravene the approach specified in the
DBIx::Class::ResultSource doco:

"Currently there is no standard set of values for the data_type. Use
whatever your database supports."

Now I guess that we could provide a method in
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::<DB> that returns the DB-specific date data type,
but will that start adding too much overhead?
