Have you tried calling agent.hash ? I'd wager that that methods
returns something you don't expect, because hash is a method all ruby
objects have - I suspect that you're calling that method rather than
the one that would return the value of your hash column. You can get
at the attribute value via read_attribute, although I'd recommend
avoiding dangerous names like that.
