I don't think it will too much faster :-) BTW, for example the Oracle allows to define default date/time output format by same way as for to_char(). TODO (?): SET TIMESTAMP_FORMAT = 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'; SELECT 'now'::timestamp; timestamp ---------------------------- 01/05/2004 10:25:01 But it require check (be sure) that defined format is possible without problems convert back from string to timestamp. For this Thomas didn't like this idea. I think dynamic timestamp format is final solution of all problems with PostgreSQL date/time formats. Comments?
