Hi, i have different databases with have columns of type 'date'. my application converts the date format to german date format like 09-28-2001 to 28.09.2001 and back again if the user enters a german date format.
are there any solutions to do stuff like this inside the database? i am thinking of two solutions: a) a trigger which is fired on each select and insert/update to convert german date format to postgres date format. b) create a new type which has input and output routines to convert them and inherits date format quite new to sql i need some advice of what is the best solution and if there is any open source out there i can use? janning -- Planwerk 6 /websolutions Herzogstraße 86 40215 Düsseldorf fon 0211-6015919 fax 0211-6015917 http://www.planwerk6.de ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
