Feature: Better handling of time and datetime fields

QGIS 2.14 has improved handling of time and datetime field types, including:

  • PostgreSQL timestamp fields are correctly handled
  • The expression engine now has full support for time fields
  • The expression builder now shows preview calculation results for date, time, date time and interval calculations
  • Time fields are fully supported by vector file layers (depending on file format), PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server and temporary scratch layers
  • Saving layers to vector files will preserve time fields if supported by vector layer format (eg MapInfo .tab files)
