Many, many thanks.  Now of course I need more help...

The situation is that data inserted into the DB is not being found
on a subsequent select and I am unaware of any deletes being done.
So, I am hoping to find where the data is going or why the select is
not working.

This is the critical insert:

This seems to have worked.  Would the log show if it did not?

The I see a bunch of these:

2009-07-10 15:13:02 EDT hll_theheart_test 216.185.71.24(57638)
hll_theheart_db_admin : LOG:  00000: duration: 0.082 ms  statement:
SET client_min_messages TO 'notice'

2009-07-10 15:13:02 EDT hll_theheart_test 216.185.71.24(57638)
hll_theheart_db_admin : LOCATION:  exec_simple_query,
postgres.c:1105

2009-07-10 15:13:02 EDT hll_theheart_test 216.185.71.24(57638)
hll_theheart_db_admin : LOG:  00000: duration: 6.155 ms  statement:
           SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
d.adsrc, a.attnotnull

2009-07-10 15:13:02 EDT hll_theheart_test 216.185.71.24(57638)
hll_theheart_db_admin : LOCATION:  exec_simple_query,
postgres.c:1105

2009-07-10 15:13:02 EDT hll_theheart_test 216.185.71.24(57638)
hll_theheart_db_admin : LOG:  00000: duration: 1.285 ms  statement:
           SELECT a.attname, format_type(a.atttypid, a.atttypmod),
d.adsrc, a.attnotnull

and finally, I get a long list of these:

2009-07-10 15:13:02 EDT hll_theheart_test 216.185.71.24(57638)
hll_theheart_db_admin : LOG:  00000: duration: 1.779 ms  statement:
SELECT * FROM "currencies" WHERE ("currencies"."currency_code" =
E'CAD')  LIMIT 1
...

I believe that this is what I want to examine.  Is there a server
side technique that I can use which will tell me what data this
statement returned or if it found nothing?

In any case, I see the INSERTS and I can find NO DELETES at all.  Is
there any other way to remove some or all data from a table?
