If you change the "datestyle" parameter in postgresql.conf, it will
influence the way psql displays the date values. Probably pgAdmin
will also check that setting (as I don't use pgAdmin I can't really
tell).
PSQL doesn't use that, postgres itself does. it can be set on the
fly with SET on a per-connection basis, or with ALTER DATABASE on a
per-database basis.
But the *display* is done by the client.
And if Postgres (the server) did the conversion, I would not be able
to see a different date formatting in e.g. a JDBC based tool. So I
guess psql is reading that database/server setting.
Hello again,
what parameter should I use to have date in format:
dd-mm-yyyy ? I try to use Posgtgres, DMY and it's seems is work,
but not in my case, because I have also a field:
last_date timestamp without time zone default
('now'::text)::timestamp(6) with time zone
and ISO, DMY show me: 2012-10-15 11:00:49.397908 if I use Postgres, DMY
show me
Mon 15 Oct 11:00:49.397908 2012
But I want to be formatted: 11:00:49 15-10-2012
Is this possible to be done ?
Cheers,
Hristo S.
