Okay, I found:
$schema = drupal_get_schema('mytable');
if ($schema['fields']['last_checked']['type'] != 'datetime') {
}

Subject: [development] DB Column Format
I have a module for which users seem to run the updates more than once, so I
try to make the update code sensitive to this.
In my latest change, I am converting from unix time to DATETIME. I dont see
a function in the APIs that allows me to check what type the column is. I
can easily use SHOW COLUMNS, but I suspect that MySql and PgSql return
different results. Any ideas on how to make this database independent?
