Dates are no big deal. The front end can translate PostgreSQL format
dates to/from whatever format you want.

My big challenge (I am in the above case - UK server [rackspace] and
French data) is the decimal separator. I can't figure how to get a ","
as my decimal seperator. If I try modifying postgresql.conf the
postmaster refuses to start. I _don't_ want to write a fance procedure
into each and every JSP to work around this. And my client refuses to
use the "."...
