I have just replicated a db in 6.5 from 6.4.2.

The table selects the date differently from the identical table.
I obviously set a parameter in 6.4.2 which I now cannot find (from
mail list archive and doc as well).

Please aid someone who is tearing his hair out.
Thank you in advance,
Colin.

The table & contents :
     CREATE TABLE JUNK_QWERTY (
       id       int,
       mydate   date
     );
     insert into JUNK_QWERTY values (1, '1999-02-01');
     insert into JUNK_QWERTY values (2, '1999-03-24');
     insert into JUNK_QWERTY values (3, '1999-11-24');
        
6.4.2 output :
        timesheet=> select * from JUNK_QWERTY;
                id|    mydate
                --+----------
                 1|1999-02-01
                 2|1999-03-24
                 3|1999-11-24
                (3 rows)

6.5 output :
        timesheet=> select * from JUNK_QWERTY;
                id|    mydate
                --+----------
                 1|02-01-1999
                 2|03-24-1999
                 3|11-24-1999
                (3 rows)
