Обсуждение: non-us datestyle
Is there a way to set the default date style to non-US (European)? I didn't see any compile or run time options, just per connection options. (pg v1.7) -Cedar

If you define the shell variable PGDATESTYLE to, for example, SQL, all date are returned like this: dd/mm/yyyy There are serveral values you can assign to PGDATESTYLE. You can execute, prior to a query this sentence: SET DATESTYLE TO SQL > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? > > http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html >

You can set PGDATESTYLE in the postmaster's environment, I think.
This should be a GUC variable (hence settable in postgresql.conf)
but isn't yet.

I've seen that we stat postmaster with this options: postmaster -D /mypath -i -o '-e -S 32768' & The -o options means the parameters we pass to every postgres child. so, the -e option in the postgres executable means "European dates".

FYI, for what we need we actually don't need to set the datestyle. If you go through ODBC (Win/Access), it will take the system's regional settings and use those (for display and input). Anyway, thanks for the answers. BTW, is there a header file or something simple to change to default everything to European so we don't have to worry about postmaster options? -Cedar

This is why I > want a global option. IIRC, ODBC driver allows you to specify a set of queries to run right after connect. You can put your SET DATESTYLE TO XXX; there ---------------- Hannu
