When I want to write a date to a postgres table in the following query (using python and pygresql)
INSERT INTO lidmate VALUES (3157,864,'ACKERMAN','MARTHINUS THEODORUS','MNR', '','ACKERMAN','','O','M','B','','','17/06/1997','19/08/1997') the following error message occurs: Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 78, in ? File "<stdin>", line 71, in skryf_data ValueError: WARN:Bad date external representation I have the following lines in my .bashrc to set the locale: LANG='en_GB' export LANG I also did a os.system("set DateStyle to 'SQL,European'") in the program to see if that will solve the problem, but it made no difference. Can somebody help, please?
