Problem with datestyle and driver jdbc

Hi,

today I subscribed to this mailing list. I hope someone can help me with my problem.

When I try to set the datestyle of the driver postgresql-8.0-311.jdbc3.jar with this code:

connection = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(URL);
Statement s=connection.createStatement();
s.executeUpdate("set datestyle ='european,sql'");
s.execute("show datestyle");
s.close();

I get this error message:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: The server's DateStyle parameter was changed to SQL, DMY. The JDBC driver requires DateStyle to begin with ISO for correct operation.

How can I change the code to have the date format as it is in the db (that is DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS) and not as YYYY/MM/DD?

Thank you !
