[development] DB Column Format

[Nancy Wichmann]

I have a module for which users seem to run the updates more than once, so I
try to make the update code sensitive to this.
In my latest change, I am converting from unix time to DATETIME. I don’t see
a function in the APIs that allows me to check what type the column is. I
can easily use “SHOW COLUMNS,” but I suspect that MySql and PgSql return
different results. Any ideas on how to make this database independent?
