Обсуждение: datestyle syntax

hi
in the query:
alter database dbname set datestyle='DMY','European';
what is the significance of the two parameters given in datestyle. I
assumed that one is input and the other is output, but if i put:
set datestyle='DMY','DMY'
i get an error saying 'conflicting datestyles'
