I recently switched my database from MySQL to PostGres. I also use GeoKit. When I started my app up with the new database already seeded, I get the following error:

PGError: ERROR:  function radians(character varying) does not exist
LINE 1: ...COS(0.661045389762993)*COS(-2.12957994527573)*COS(RADIANS(ti...
                                                         ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might 
need to add explicit type casts.

Anyone know why this is breaking now? I know GeoKit still works because it's still performing the geocoding in the model per ticket when the database is seeded, it just won't do the distance calculations correctly.
