The JDBC driver resets DateStyle to a known value on each connection so
that it knows how to correctly format date values sent to the backend,
and correctly parse date values returned by the backend.

Really you should be using the JDBC methods that deal in terms of
java.sql.Date if you are manipulating dates (i.e.
PreparedStatement.setDate(), ResultSet.getDate() and so on). The driver
will then correctly handle the date value interpretation for you.
