OK, I think my point here was more about the api returnter_capitadiscoverytnr
field than the database field itself.

a) If we're wanting to keep this as a datetime as opposed to a date without
time then we really need to ensure we return a timezone along with it.
b) The field name is misleading and non-standard for this sort of thing,
'updated_on' suggests a 'date' not a datetime.. 'updated' is a less specific
term which commonly denotes a timestamp as opposed to a date.

My point really is that the API should NOT simply reflect the database.. an API
is meant to hide the data storage details and rather expose the 'objects' and
'methods' an api consumer can work with.  Understanding of implementation
details should not be required or indeed cared about by an api consumer.
