Is there a way to set the default date style to non-US (European)? I
didn't see any compile or run time options, just per connection options.

Well I'm not sure if you are asking for this but...
If you define the shell variable PGDATESTYLE to, for example, SQL, all date
are returned like this:
dd/mm/yyyy
There are serveral values you can assign to PGDATESTYLE.
You can execute, prior to a query this sentence:
SET DATESTYLE TO SQL

I'll be using ODBC so there's no shell variable to set... This is why I
want a global option.

But, have you tried it?
Beacuse I use DBI from a windows machine with ActivePerl and it works.

IIRC, ODBC driver allows you to specify a set of queries to run right
after connect.
You can put your SET DATESTYLE TO XXX; there

You can set PGDATESTYLE in the postmaster's environment, I think.
This should be a GUC variable (hence settable in postgresql.conf)
but isn't yet.

I've seen that we stat postmaster with this options:
postmaster -D /mypath -i -o '-e -S 32768' &
The -o options means the parameters we pass to every postgres child. so,
the -e option in the postgres executable means "European dates".

psqlodbc driver seems to set the DateStyle for itself in
interfaces/odbc/connection.c.
/* Set the Datestyle to the format the driver expects it to be in */
result = SQLExecDirect(hstmt, "set DateStyle to 'ISO'", SQL_NTS);

I assume this is in a todo or already done?
FYI, for what we need we actually don't need to set the datestyle. If you
go through ODBC (Win/Access), it will take the system's regional settings
and use those (for display and input). Anyway, thanks for the answers.
BTW, is there a header file or something simple to change to default
everything to European so we don't have to worry about postmaster options?
