I could swear (but I don't think I can prove at this point) that 8.0 beta3 returned timestamps with milliseconds, like this:

YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.MS

But 8.1 isn't doing that. I see functions to format the date, but that would require me to change all my existing SQL to specifically ask for the milliseconds. There's also the "set datestyle" thing, but the granularity doesn't exist to specify an exact format such as the above. Is there a way to tell postgres *exactly* what I want the *default* date output format to be?

Nevermind, the documentation just seems to be unclear. I do get .MS back in ISO format (despite that not being shown as part of the ISO format). It's just that none of my dates have milliseconds on them, which is simply a bug I'll have to find.

OK, sorry to flood on this, but there is still a problem. If I have no milliseconds, I'd like to get back ".000" at the end of the output. Since MS are indeed part of the ISO format, why don't get I get zeros? Alternatively, if MS aren't part of the ISO format, why do I get non-zeros?
