Arrrr... date formatting.

[Alex Turner <armtuk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Shiver me timbers, whats up with to_char()?!

Avast!  Is there no way to get a month without it being padded to
nine characters?  It makes using a database to actualy format a
date for output kinda impossible?

I'll have to walk the plank if I can't get an answer, the crew will
mutiny and leave me on an island with a one-shot pistol and the sight
of me sails dissapearing over the horizon!
