That is strange. What is your psql version? What is the output of the following commands: SHOW server_version; SHOW server_encoding; SHOW client_encoding; SHOW lc_numeric; SHOW lc_monetary; SELECT to_char(3.1415::numeric(5,2), '999D99L'); Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
