It stores dates internally as strings and then has [functions](https://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html) to work with date-like strings. Yes it's weird.

That's correct. But my issue is about the application level libraries that, i suppose, have better data understanding if see a specific type such as `DATETIME`. 

I'm writing data with **dataset** i've mentioned. The lib changes its behavior depending on a type. I saw different behavior with types `DATETIME, FLOAT, TEXT`. Dataset, for their part, is built upon Sqlalchemy, you know what it is.

To be honest, i didn't dive into the details of why the behavior changes, but when i altered manually by other util a type of column to `DATETIME` things got back to normal.

On the matter, can i achieve it with Sqlite Utils at the moment?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1572766460,
