PostgreSQL version: 8.3.3
Operating system:   Linux
Description:        Pi division error
Details: 

I am trying to do some calculations within Postgresql and am not getting the
expected result.  the first set proves that the pi works as expected with
multiplication.

Equation   180*pi 
VB         565.486677646163       
Calculator 565.486677646163 
PostgreSQL 565.486677646163 
Php        565.48667764616 

However if I extend this equation postgres definately fails this test. 

Equation   (315-0)/180*pi
VB         5.49778714378213     
Calculator 5.497787144 
PostgreSQL 3.14159265358979 
Php        5.4977871437821
