The former is what I would expect. The code doesn't build a new value if there's already a row. I would be more worried about the error handling, I'm not sure if it's totally consistent about not producing any result if the database fails. It should but I'm not sure if it does or not.

It's easy enough to tell, just run a few aacli tests.
