Howdy Gents-

I'm sure I'm having an "oh duh!" moment, but can anyone tell me what is going 
on here.

I am multiplying two columns it doesn't matter what their data type is not does 
it seem to matter if I explicitly cast these
values to some other data type every time they are multiplied I am getting an 
incorrect result.

col1 = 213.1086
col2 = 0.833

If I perform

select col1 * col2, 213.1086 * .833 from tableA

I get the following values

177.519464 and 177.583396

What I am doing wrong!?!???  I need to get the expected 177.583396 value.  
Thanks for any assistance!

Using 7.2.1 on freeBSD
