Re: Problem Setting DateStyle



Steps:
1.
show datestyle
     DateStyle
     ISO, DMY


2.
set datestyle to 'SQL, DMY';
show datestyle;
     DateStyle
     SQL, DMY

this should be the good result.

Now the tries:
Edit the postgresql.conf. Set datestyle = 'SQL, DMY' parameter. Restart the DB server.
show datestyle
     DateStyle
     ISO, DMY

... there is no change.

the other try:
alter database test2 set datestyle to 'SQL, DMY';
SQL executed.
show datestyle
     DateStyle
     ISO, DMY


the same...

Am I missing something??? If I set
set datestyle to 'SQL, DMY' in a connection session then it works well for that session.

I need this type of format:
     auftragsdatum
     27/06/2005
     27/06/2005
     27/06/2005
     27/06/2005
     27/06/2005
     27/06/2005
     21/11/2005
     09/12/2005
     07/07/2005
     29/06/2005


I don't know what am I missing in the configuration.
I attach the postgres.conf.


Best regards,
Andy.

I tried to modify it in postgres.conf >>> datestyle = 'European' or

alter database test5 SET DateStyle='SQL, DMY';

.... none of these worked.

They work for me.  Perhaps you should show us exactly what you did and
what happened.
