A classic gotcha is in text containing blanks where you don't expect them,
or control characters (perhaps even backspaces which overlay characters
when the text is sent to the terminal).  Capture the output of the query
in a file and examine it for what's really there.  And in light of what's
about to happen in 5 months, I'd use a description like
"FULL ONLINE 19990728" instead.  :-)
