Who are we formatting for? If the client wants the data in a specific
format then they can do SELECT to_char(...), or do the formatting in the
client all together.
If some client wants to render the column value as a bitmap image, let
them. We don't need to build in everything a client wants to do in the
server.
The database should manage data, presenting it to the user in different
ways are the job of a client.
