datetime was removed under some dubious circumstances. you can depend on date api module to get it back or probably better is to switch to int if you can. see http://drupal.org/node/866340
Oh dear what a mess. Thanks for the prompt reply, at least I know what to do, not too bad as the dates are just a record and should still sort. Upgrade routine from D6 will be a nasty hack though. Ugh. The info provided in schema.inc (line 40+) should be updated, us mere mortals (contrib maintainers) do rely on the comments in core for guidance of what can and cannot be done.

I'm having problems with a database field which is type 'datetime' in a Drupal 7 install, using alpha7. It installed OK a few months ago but now causes the module install to crash, it would appear that the datetime type is no longer supported or this is a bug in the PDO Database Abstraction Layer. I notice that core modules using timestamp fields are using type 'int', should I do the same? I am reluctant to do this as it will make upgrades from D6 just that much more difficult,
I am testing this on Ubuntu 10.04, fully up to date.
