Because I need more control. In this case I need the date in XML format, so it will be something like this: select to_char(clock_timestamp(), 'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SSTZ'); Is the timestamp::text format always the same, regardless of the current locale and language settings? -- ____________________________________________________________________ Cezariusz Marek mob: +48 608 646 494 http://www.comarch.com/ tel: +48 33 815 0734 ____________________________________________________________________ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
