I'm sure I'm missing something (still adjusting to the difference between the two version).  Can someone help or point me in the right direction?  Below is my debug:.

  So... that SELECT statement returns nothing.  What happens when you run the SELECT statement by hand?  What does it return?

  That's why the SELECT is printed in debug mode... so you can see for yourself what's going on.

  Odds are that it doesn't work because there's no row in radchekc with "username = me".  That should be simple enough to fix.
