You can do this job in three different ways:
                    1. Setting PGDATESTYLE environment variable for everey client
as:                       export PGDATESTYLE='sql,european'   # this format is:
dd/mm/yyyy
                    2. Running postmaster using -oe parameter to set format                       date to 'European'
convention.
                    3. Changing the following variables:                       bool EuroDates = true / false
          int  DateStyle =                                        USE_ISO_DATES
USE_POSTGRES_DATES                                       USE_ISO_DATES
USE_SQL_DATES                                       USE_GERMAN_DATES                       on
~/src/backend/utils/init/globals.cfile before PostgreSQL
 
installation).
