Short Description
datestyle

Long Description
I use postgresql 7.0.2 under Linux (slackware 7.1)
I cannot change the format of the date style with set
I'm French and I want to use the European format i.e : DD/MM/YYYY and not YYYY/MM/DD

Sample Code
create table anyname (
philippe1(# myDate date);
CREATE
philippe1=# show datestyle;
NOTICE:  DateStyle is ISO with US (NonEuropean) conventions
SHOW VARIABLE
philippe1=# set datestyle to 'European';
SET VARIABLE
philippe1=# show datestyle;
NOTICE:  DateStyle is ISO with European conventions
SHOW VARIABLE
philippe1=# insert into anyname values('31/12/2000');
INSERT 114889 1
philippe1=# select * from anyname;
   mydate
------------
 2000-12-31
