Is this normal behaviour?

Hello,

A routine check on as-macro AS-EURONET on the RIPE-database returned an
unexpected result.

The same check on the RADB whoisd (whois.raddb.net) however, returned the
expected result together with two unexpected ones.

Investigation learned us that someone deleted an unprotected as-macro on
the RIPE-database. It seems it is fixed now.

But what I would like to know is to what extend the several whois
databases a synchronised, in other words; how reliable is the information
retrieved from it? And... is the as-set object supposed to be unique or
not?
