possible? no - things would be unbearable and chaotic the world of datbases
if it were so.
I'd say - keep looing at your code...
things to check:
query text, parameters, you say rows in teh last five minutes... look at
that logic closely. whose five minutes? is the timestamp a client timestamp
or server? are you expressing the 5 minutes correctly
