Hello again,
what parameter should I use to have date in format:
dd-mm-yyyy ? I try to use Posgtgres, DMY and it's seems is work,
but not in my case, because I have also a field:
last_date timestamp without time zone default
('now'::text)::timestamp(6) with time zone
and ISO, DMY show me: 2012-10-15 11:00:49.397908 if I use Postgres, DMY
show me
Mon 15 Oct 11:00:49.397908 2012
But I want to be formatted: 11:00:49 15-10-2012
Is this possible to be done ?
Cheers,
Hristo S.
