If from the psql command line I use select current_timestamp it shows like
this:

1999-10-01 14:30:53-05

However if I insert into a datetime field, when I do a select it formats
it like so:

Sun Oct 03 10:00:00 1999 CDT

Is there a way I can retrieve the information from a datetime field, and
format it like the first example ?
