Sorry17 Starson but I have problem as I don't know how to multiple quote your message.

As for looking using a SQLite browser I prefer having timestamps on calibre. Much better !
Also I could agree into not having a single timestamp. I could identify the gap even in this scenario.

In fact I am not whishing it as the perfect solution for any duplicate. It is the solution for situations where:

1) Calibre crashes in the middle of a batch adding.
2) You import a file which is phisically the same of a previous one.

In all other situations the standard tag based method is ok.

Believe me: today only I have had at least 10 crashes. I am going crazy without hashes.
