Hi, There seems to be some tricky behaviour with number formating and french locale. I tried the following request: select to_char(1485.12, '9G999D99'); I was expecting to get: 1 485,12 But, surprinsingly, I got 1,1485,12. My postgresql server is an 8.1.2 version. The same problem occurs under Ubuntu Breezy and Debian Testing. My current configuration is LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR@euro client_encoding=LATIN9 server_encoding=LATIN9 I tried to reconfigure locales and restart the server, but I can't get the result I expect. I really don't know what else I could do. Sincerely, -- Stéphane SCHILDKNECHT Président de PostgreSQLFr http://www.postgresqlfr.org
