RE: [GENERAL] 6.4.2 and 6.5 date usertype difference

Cheers everyone.

Therefore :
    - At runtime level :
        test=> show DATESTYLE;
        test=> SET DATESTYLE TO 'ISO';
    - At boot up (/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres) :
        Add :
             export PGDATESTYLE=ISO
        just before executing postmaster ....
    - At database level :
        $ postgres <options> <database>
            - option -e = European
        see $ man postgres
    - At user level :
        Add in to shell startup (Eg .bash_profile) :
            export PGDATESTYLE=ISO
Phew!
