I don't think you understood Marshall's suggestion.

M isn't saying it should insert a duplicate row. He's just saying that it's unnecessary to report an error, if the row to be inserted is already there. No action is necessary. No insertion, because inserting would be an error. No error flag, because the row you wanted in the table is (already) in the table. Received on Mon Oct 17 2005 - 20:42:16 CEST
