I would suggest storing it as epoch time (seconds since X) in a numeric
fields and create some helper functions to get data in and out in the
right format. Or a timestamp(0) column with an additional nano-second
column.

Depending on how often you use it it may be interesting to create a
specific type, but this may come close enough.
