Description
I think that the exact same database should not be allowed to be uploaded multiple times. Currently, if I upload the same dataset twice, is returns new IDs for both. I think on the server side, there should be a check (maybe md5sum hash based) to not allow the exact same content to re-uploaded.

Research direction
No file, test, or upload entry point is named. Locate the server-side dataset upload handling, then inspect how content and IDs are validated; done should mean an exact duplicate upload is rejected or consistently identified without affecting distinct datasets, with coverage for repeated uploads.
