In 8.2, utils/adt/formatting.c uses our NLS mechanism to localize day and month names (I assume for use by to_char). But since this necessarily ties the outcome to the LC_MESSAGES setting, this comes out inconsistently with Unix locale behavior, e.g.,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date +%A Friday [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] date +%A Friday [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ [EMAIL PROTECTED] date +%A Freitag Is there no API to get the localized names from the C library so that LC_TIME takes effect? -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
