_Where_ do you want that default format? Are you asking about a field? psql output? The O/S?
What you're asking might be as simple as "datestyle," if you're just talking the output mask: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime-config-client.html DateStyle ( string ) Sets the display format for date and time values, as well as the rules for interpreting ambiguous date input values. For historical reasons, this variable contains two independent components: the output format specification ( ISO , Postgres , SQL , or German ) and the input/output specification for year/month/day ordering ( DMY , MDY , or YMD ). These can be set separately or together. The keywords Euro and European are synonyms for DMY ; the keywords US , NonEuro , and NonEuropean are synonyms for MDY . See Section 8.5 for more information. The built-in default is ISO, MDY , but initdb will initialize the configuration file with a setting that corresponds to the behavior of the chosen lc_time locale. ----- Original Message ----- > Hi All, > Using PostgreSQL 9.3 on Linux Red-Hat platform. > How would I go about setting a default format for the timestamp?
