Not to be too cruel but this explains much.

 From the DBMS side my basic premise is that if the data is not constrained a part of a primary key, unique constraint, foreign key, check constraint, or by a trigger ... it is a memo field and one should expect it to contain nothing but garbage.

That seems to be your current situation.

Get someone to apply some SQL or PL/SQL to the problem.
