We supplied an upgrade to a client which involved adding an extra data
element to an Image database, and to two of the sets on it.

When diagnosing problems (unrelated to these entries), we reviewed this
database in Query, and happened to notice that the new entries did not
appear.

Accordingly, we tried to add them in DBGeneral, the client's choice of
DB Manager. However, DBG said they were already there, so it couldn't
add them.

We confirmed that we were looking at the same database in both cases,
and it wasn't some file equate weirdosity. Not was it a 'pending change'
situation in DBG.

In the end, we had to tell DBG that it should remove the entries, which
it was quite happy to do, and add them again, which it was again happy
to do. After which they were visible in Query.

Wha' happen? Which product was right?
