I don't think this should be a per database setting. Why not use an
environment variable PGDATESTYLE for it. That's easy enough for now.
Before we throw all kinds of per database defaults around, I'd like to see
some sort of a concept where exactly a "database" stands versus "schema",
etc. What happens if one day queries across databases are allowed?
