Narrative:

While at the gate; in our clearance we were given the RIVER6 departure off of 28L at pdx. Pulled up the departure in the FMC and it was different than the printed commercial chart departure procedure. The FMS had you intercept the 287 radial versus the published departure radial of 277. Since the FMS was wrong; I deleted the departure and manually built it. Someone coded the departure wrong into the database. The navigation database needs to be modified.

Title: A B737NG Captain noticed the FMC had incorrect information loaded for the PDX RIVER 6 SID; so he built the procedure manually.
