It didn't work and the outcome was none at all. Before, the prompt had
changed from ekobas=# to ekobas'#?

I AM SO VERY SORRY TO ALL OF YOU GUYS!
I made a dreadful mistake when I created this tabel I call "timmar"
(hours, that's working hours), it includes three TIME columns which I
created in phpPgAdmin which shows very small letters on my computer.
Two of these columns started with capital P instead of p. Terrible
mistake, me bad :(

This works very well:
SELECT tid_in, to_char(tid_in, 'HH24.MI') AS format FROM timmar;

Thank you all for your effort.
