Is datetime2 support in MS SQL Server 2014 express

Question

I'm a little confused on this. Microsoft seems to advocate the using of datatime2 instead of datetime. Datetime2 is smaller, and has better resolution and range, but when I go to design my database in SQL 2014 Express, datetime2 is not listed in the Data Type drop down. Datetime is listed but I actually need the resolution of datetime2. Is datetime2 not supported in express versions?

Thanks,

Karlsen was pretty much on the mark. I thought I was running in 2014 but when I checked Management Studio it turned out to be connected to a really old 2005 version. So the DB was in SQL 2005, where datetime2 was not supported. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
