Depends on the source stage you are using. Some databases store date + time under DATE data type, like Oracle. Therefore, the metadata should be DATE.

How about you import the metadata, which DS reads from the data source and stores in the Manager library? Then you don't have to know what the metadata is, DS will understand it itself.
