Hi, I'm trying to get the output of the to_char(date, text) method in German but I can't get it to work:
My understanding is, that I need to set lc_time for the session in order to change the language used by to_char(), but this does not seem to work for me: postgres=> select version(); version ------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 8.4.3, compiled by Visual C++ build 1400, 32-bit (1 Zeile) postgres=> select to_char(current_date, 'Mon'); to_char --------- May (1 Zeile) postgres=> set lc_time = 'German'; SET postgres=> select to_char(current_date, 'Mon'); to_char --------- May (1 Zeile) postgres=> Postgres' messages are in German, but not the output of to_char() After changing lc_time to 'German' I would have expected 'Mai' instead of 'May' What am I mising?
