Fix string_to_time method missing error

- string_to_time method is removed from Rails.
- This can be fixed at native JDBC level to delegate the call to the
  respective column to emulate same behavior as ActiveRecord.
- This commit tries to fix the problem at Ruby level by emulating the
  ActiveRecord way at the Column class level.
WIP Use AR's DateTime instant directly
