Narrative:
Was cleared as filed to dca. This clearance included the ELDEE2 arrival. 50 mi west of kessel noticed druzz and revue absent on flight plan string between esl and pugee. Queried first officer on arrival insertion. Reinserted arrival. No change in string resulted. Queried ZDC upon frequency change; still west of esl; about status and make-up of ELDEE2. Was informed that druzz and revue were still part of the published arrival. Both first officer and I were in possession of dca current commercial chart which depicted both fixes. Manually inserted both fixes and flew arrival uneventfully. Not sure if the issue was with the specific plane; or the FMS database load in general.
