Sure it's possible. You replace the respective data type output functions with something that calls to_char on the value. You can even register your own configuration parameter to control the template used by to_char. If this is the only thing stopping you from making a major technology choice, you can have it fixed by dawn. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
