Sorry, that I didn't explain my problem very clearly.
Anyway, here is the deal:
I'm the admin for the database, so, I've all the privileges of updating,
deletion, and reviewing and et.
When I tried to select based on the bemsid condition, TWO ROWS returned:
select * from users where bemsid=949762;
user_id | user_name | email | user_pw | realname
| status | shell | unix_pw | unix_status | unix_uid | unix_box |
add_date | confirm_hash | mail_siteupdates | mail_va | authorized_keys
| email_new | people_view_skills | people_resume | timezone | language |
third_party | personal_status | bemsid | sensitive_info
| reason_access | organization | brass_first_time | mail_sitenews_update
| doclinks_sort_order

But when I tried select user_id=4215, the result return 0 rows:
select * from users where user_id=4215;
user_id | user_name | email | user_pw | realname | status | shell |
unix_pw | unix_status | unix_uid | unix_box | add_date | confirm_hash |
mail_siteupdates | mail_va | authorized_keys | email_new |

(0 rows)
I'm really confused. I want to delete user_id=4215 because it is
causing me login errors. But I can't select, update, delete that
record. I'm not sure if that record really exist.
I used the Vaccum, but it didn't help.
Thanks in advance.

It would probably be helpful to see what query you are running, the
table information... things like that.
