Hi all,
starting with 7.2, now() returns a time with milliseconds. If extracted
from the db and displayed verbatim, it shows up as
'2002-02-05 10:59:36.717176+02'.

Unfortunately, I have a lot of code that displays the date/time directly
from the db on a web page without any to_char transformation and now
that is quite harder to understand. Is there any way to have an implicit
formatting back that trims the milliseconds on a per-connection
variable?
