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
