Hi
try
postgres=# set datestyle to DMY;
SET
postgres=# SELECT '19/08/2014'::date;
date
------------
2014-08-19
(1 row)
Postgres supports following styles only:
DEFAULT EUROPEAN ISO NONEUROPEAN SQL
YMD
DMY GERMAN MDY POSTGRES US
or more exactly:
postgres=# set datestyle to SQL,DMY;
SET
postgres=# SELECT '19/08/2014'::date;
date
------------
19/08/2014
(1 row)
