Hello, it is me again :-) Setting a different Datestyle now failes (7.0.2). If I set a different Datestyle (e.g. European) either from the Backend (postmaster -o -e ...) or in psql with "set datestyle=European"), the setting is completely ignored. It seems as if the Style has been set as a "show datestyle" displays the correct setting. No matter what setting is choosed the output always looks the same.
