postgresql - datetime: does postgresql have datetime type like in mysql?

Question

I know in mysql there is datetime type but couldn't find couterpart in postgresql. I know there is timestamp type in postgresql but that's a timestamp instead of datetime.

Thanks

Do you need to store values in the LOCAL time line (use TIMESTAMP), or WORLD time line (use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE)? — The Impaler

"that's a timestamp instead of datetime" makes no sense. Those two are literally the same thing — user330315

A MySQL DATETIME is equivalent to a PostgreSQL TIMESTAMP.

Both store a date+time value in an undefined time line. They assume the time offset or time zone is of no interest, or is defined by the application.
