It stumped me for a while! Cool! That's where the sanity check Merlin suggested comes in really handy. You can manually key in what you think it's showing, and compare with the two rows: sikorsky@sikorsky:~$ psql -c "select md5('Roaccutane')" md5 ---------------------------------- 70f818454267c719ed612f50fe563f64 (1 row) Anything that shows a different hash is clearly different... somehow.
