Yes, I see this function but if I need to select 100 000 rows this mean
I think,
this function will be start 100 000 times. I mean when I ask the
question,
it's is possible to format the date how I like it without to use
functions,
just something like: set datestyle ('postgres with my custom format
00:00:00 dmy', DMY)
something like that. Sry that I did not explain it.
