Thread: Entered data appears TWICE in table!!?

I'm JUST getting started with the online SQL tutorial at
http://sqlcourse.com.  When I create a table and insert data, the data
appears TWICE. A simple example:

***Create the table:

create table rnmrgntable
(first varchar(20),
last varchar(30));

***Insert data:

insert into rnmrgntable
(first, last)
values ('Bill' , 'Smith');

***Then look at the table:

select * from rnmrgntable;

And I get:

first    last
Bill    Smith
Bill    Smith

EVERYTHING I enter appears twice, duplicated on two rows as in this
example.  What the heck's going on?

What interface are you using?

I recall doing that tutorial once upon a time.  A very
good thing.

But I don't see the connection to PostgreSQL.  Perhaps
you can explain it?
