the date format that we use is DD/MM/YYYY but whet we execute a select
command we get this information:

Sounds to me like you haven't told the database what format you're
using. See the DATESTYLE parameter; you need to select "european"
format to get it to default to dd-before-mm date order.

We need to know if is necessary to install some patch to fix this
problem or upgrade the database.

An upgrade would be a good idea in any case. 7.1.3 is pretty old.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
