You can use the to_char function. See: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/functions-formatting.html Note that dates aren't actually stored as aaa-mm-dd internally. You might want something like: area=> select to_char(current_date, 'Month DD YYYY Day'); to_char ----------------------------- June 14 2005 Tuesday (1 row)
