Joshua,
I know that i can format it explicitly, but instead of using a SELECT *
FROM .. I have to name the columns which is not very convenient. Right
now I have created views for each table just to re-format the output of
the one timestamp field.
Mysql for example has a in addition to the TIMESTAMP also a DATETIME
type that returns |'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'. So, I was wondering if there
is anything similar in postgres or can i set the precision or format of
the timestamp in the postgres.conf or can I define a new type.

Hi,
I am using the timestamp various tables but dont like to see the
microseconds.
Is there way to format the output of timestamp fields globally (in
the postgres.conf)?
Preferably i only would like to see the YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS.
Or can a formatting be passed to a SELECT * .... hmmm probably not.

And yes you can do it in a SELECT.
Sincerely,

Thanks for any advise
