Hi,
So I have a database with a primary key set to auto inc, but also, a field which needs to be kept unique. I am inserting into the database via a script that will insert 20-100 fields at a time, and occasionally there will be a duplicate record which will throw an error if its already in the database, breaking the script.
So, is there an easy way in CI to catch the FAIL: INSERT INTO DUPLICATE ENTRY FOR KEY 2
Error, so that it will just say ok, that insert didnt work, but lets keep going?
P.S. I am aware the normal thing might be to check whether the key exists first, but I am working with an external API which makes it not as easy, and also I would think it would use up more resources to check whether it exists before running the script as duplicate entries are still fairly rare occurence.
Any help much appreciated.
