I'm trying to use the trig functions mentioned in the postgresql manual. Namely the cosine function listed as cos(float8) float8 cosine cos(0.4) In both 6.5.3 and 7.0beta3 the function doesn't exist. I get. . . obe-> \df cosine result|function|arguments|description ------+--------+---------+----------- (0 rows) obe-> \df cos result|function|arguments|description ------+--------+---------+----------- (0 rows) I didn't see any additional ./configure options to activate the math functions, nor did I see any recent mention of this in the mail archives. Am I missing something? Also FWIW the manual lists the power function as pow which also doesn't exist as pow but as power. obe-> \df pow result |function|arguments |description -------+--------+----------------+-------------------------- numeric|power |numeric numeric |m raised to the power of n (1 row) Thanks, James ->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->---<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-< James Thompson 138 Cardwell Hall Manhattan, Ks 66506 785-532-0561 Kansas State University Department of Mathematics ->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->->---<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<
