 The QgsVectorFileWriter()-Method throws an error when a PostGIS-Layer
 contains columns of type timestamp. Type timestamp is a very useful
 datatype. This limitation shouldn't exist. I know that not all vector file
 formats, especially DBF, don't support this datatype. A feasible solution
 could be to cast this type to character strings.
