Hallo,
is it possible to globally set the COMMA as the decimal separator for an instance instead of the DOT.
1. Is it possible
2. If yes, how would one convert all the DBs in an existing instance.
LG
Ram

I assume you would like to use the comma as decimal separator in your
SQL statements, like
UPDATE konto SET betrag = 23,50 WHERE kontonummer = 42;
That is not possible.
However, if you set the parameter "lc_numeric" to a German locale, you
can use the comma with the function to_number():
SET lc_numeric = "de_DE.utf8";
SELECT to_number('23,50', '999999999D99');
to_number
═══════════
23.50
(1 row)
