Hi all,
The date format can be defined with SET DateStyle.
When fetching result set values using the libpq C API, we get plain text from PQgetvalue(), representing a date in the
currentformat.
We need to extract date parts (year/month/day) to fill our own DATE type structure...
Is there a way to know the current date format used in the SQL session?
Ideally, we expect a libpq API.
We cannot do a "SHOW DateStyle" each time we executing a SELECT!
Other DB client C APIs provide a C structure to hold DATE values so it's easy to get year/month/day parts.
