The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6113 Logged by: David Carlos Manuelda Email address: stormb...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.0.4 Operating system: Gentoo Linux Description: SET DATESTYLE='European' does not set datestyle output correctly Details:
According to Doc (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.2/static/sql-set.html), there are different datestyles available to format date outputs. But either is a bug in doc or is a bug in postgre itself, but 'European' does not currently do what it is intended (it does nothing actually). >From documentation: Testcase 1: OK German Use dd.mm.yyyy for numeric date representations. SET DATESTYLE='German'; SELECT NOW()::DATE; now ------------ 12.07.2011 Testcase 2: FAIL! SET DATESTYLE='European'; SELECT NOW()::DATE; now ------------ 12.07.2011 As you can see, SET DATESTYLE='European' just did nothing and did not change it from last set which was 'German', and of course, it does not even outputs what was expected and stated in documentation. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
