Re: Date 1973/06/03 Conversion Problem in 7.3.4 and 7.3.2.

I think this is what you wanted.

select to_char('03/06/1973'::date,'dd/mm/yyyy');

you were casting the string to a date and returning a
date. so it would return it in a format that your
system is set to return.

agencysacks=# select
to_char('03/06/1973'::date,'dd/mm/yyyy');
to_char
------------
06/03/1973
(1 row)
