Here is a link to an online book about PostgreSQL:

http://www.commandprompt.com/ppbook/?lxpwrap=x8973%2ehtm

I found this in the online book, which might be of help:

http://www.commandprompt.com/ppbook/x2632#SETTINGDATEFORMATS

The PostgreSQL to_char(time-string, format) function is equivalent to
the MySQL DATE_FORMAT() function.
