That's the problem. I've also played around with it, without luck.

How other rdbms does handle this?

Hi,
is there a way to change the way how postgresql outputs floating point
numbers?
For example:
Instead of 2.34 =>  2,34 or
Instead of 334,323.53 =>  334.323,53
Can this be adjusted per session?
Does this help?

Not really:

mgogala=# set lc_numeric='de_DE';
SET
mgogala=# select 1/5::float;
 ?column?
----------
     0.2
(1 row)

mgogala=#


As you can see, I did set lc_numeric to the locale which uses decimal comma, not the decimal point and got back a point. I would have to do that with to_char function.
