First of all I want to thank you for your quick response. That would be very nice if it is possible. But using to_char I can only set the format or is it in Postgres Other? When I would execute this: select to_char(now(),'DD.Month,YYYY') I would get the monthname in english but how can I perform with to_char That I become the monthname in german??

I only need that for the monthnames. I think you can do this if you are willing to use to_char() to format the dates for display. There's no provision for such localization in the basic date or timestamp datatypes, though. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
