datetime to timestamp - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

I'm trying to export an access database to postgres 7.3, but get an error
that datatype datetime does not exist.  Noticed in the docs that 7.3 will
not longer support datetime data type.  Will the ODBC driver be converting
all datetime datatypes to timestamp in future versions?  I've included the
doc snippet and log snippet below.

Thanks,

Will


"To ensure an upgrade path from versions of PostgreSQL earlier than 7.0,
we recognize datetime (equivalent to timestamp) and timespan (equivalent
to interval). These types are now restricted to having an implicit
translation to timestamp and interval, and support for these will be
removed in the next release of PostgreSQL (likely named 7.3)."
