Обсуждение: date/time

Hi,
I have read the man's with Postgres.
But I can't seem to get Postgres use European time notation (dd/mm/yyyy).

Where can I adjust this? (in which file?)

SET DATESTYLE TO 'SQL, EUROPEAN';
SELECT NOW();

Actually, I think you may want the environment variable PGDATESTYLE.  It
sets the datestyle for new connections.  That is all I know about it!

Either set the environment variable PGDATESTYLE to 'Postgres,European' or
send the query

set datestyle='Postgres,European'

(I think SQL instead of Postgres works too)

eg:
quartz% printenv PGDATESTYLE
Postgres,European

rfb=# show datestyle;
NOTICE:  DateStyle is Postgres with European conventions
SHOW VARIABLE
