time_format option

String (composed of the symbols listed below)

HH:NN:SS.SSS

Can be set for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC group. Takes effect immediately.

The format is a string using the following symbols:

Symbol	Description
HH	Two digit hours
NN	Two digit minutes
SS.SSSSSS	Seconds and fractions of a second, up to six decimal places. Not all platforms support timestamps to a precision of six places.
AA	A.M. or P.M. (12 hour clock)—omit AA and PP for 24 hour time
PP	PM if needed (12 hour clock)—omit AA and PP for 24 hour time

Each symbol is substituted with the appropriate data for the time that is being formatted. Any format symbol that represents character rather than digit output can be put in uppercase, which causes the substituted characters to also be in uppercase. For numbers, using mixed case in the format string suppresses leading zeros.
