Is it possible to store commas instead of points 开发者_如何转开发for decimal fields in a PostgreSQL database?

That has nothing to do with PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL does not store commas or points for decimal fields. It uses an internal number representation for numbers (int, floats, numeric).

If you need to format numeric information with PostgreSQL, you can use to_char function or use your client side programming language to format numbers.

Why? No programming language will accept decimals using comma's as a seperator. Presentation should be done in the presentation layer of your application, not in the storage layer.
