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.
