duplicate entry error. How to catch? - richb201 - 07-06-2021
I have a table where I am inserting rows. I have created the table with this:
$sql = "CREATE TABLE BC_PR_list_temp(
taxyear VARCHAR(10),
employee_email VARCHAR(80),
employee VARCHAR(80),
qualified_dollars int NOT NULL,
title varchar(80),
role varchar(80),
num_BC int NOT NULL,
num_PR int NOT NULL,
type varchar(4),
item varchar(80),
dollarsPerBC int NOT NULL,
dollarsPerPR int NOT NULL,
business_component_string varchar(120),
project_string varchar(120),
CONSTRAINT OnlyOne UNIQUE (employee_email, item, qualified_dollars)
)";
$this->db->query($sql);
At some later time I am inserting rows but sometimes insert the same row twice. That is why I put in the Constraint. Now when I try to put in the same row twice, I get this error:
Error Number: 1062
Duplicate entry '[email protected]' for key 'BC_PR_list_temp.OnlyOne'
That is a correct call to constraint but I want to catch that error and just continue. How do I just ignore that error. Right now the entire program stops!

@richb201 ,
Try insert ignore (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/insert.html). I'm also assuming that you have a more recent or current version of MySQL.

Yeah I am using a version hosted on AWS so it is likely pretty current.

I think I will let the code fill in all the duplicates and then when it is done remove the duplicates with
DELETE t1 FROM contacts t1
INNER JOIN contacts t2
WHERE
t1.id < t2.id AND
t1.email = t2.email;
But this requires an autoincrment id.
I can use "id int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT" in my Create table.
But when I try to insert I get a duplicate key error. I have tried
INSERT INTO BC_PR_list_temp SELECT NULL,srat.taxyear , srat.employee_email , etc
But I get this:
Error Number: 1062
Duplicate entry '1' for key 'BC_PR_list_temp.PRIMARY'
Any ideas how to get the insert to work? I need the id in order to use the code above.

SOLVED! I needed to use the keyword IGNORE.
"INSERT IGNORE INTO BC_PR_list_temp SELECT srat.taxyear , srat.employee_email
Thank you!

bad table design, u need primary key (with auto_increment) to get it work well in future.

This is a temporary table. It gets used once to run koolreport on, for rendering. But please tell me how I insert a select into a autoincrement field for the future?
