Anna Filina<\/a> blogs about an interesting problem<\/a> she encountered with when working on a PHP and MySQL project:<\/p>\n

MySQL was complaining about \u201cIntegrity constraint violation: 1062 Duplicate entry\u201d. I had all the necessary safeguards in my code to prevent duplicates in tha column.<\/p>\n

I gave up on logic and simply dumped the contents of the problematic column for every record. I found that there was a record with and without an accent on one of the characters. PHP saw each as a unique value, but MySQL did not make a distinction, which is why it complained about a duplicate value. It\u2019s a good thing too, because based on my goal, these should have been treated as duplicates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She also mentions two possible solutions to the problem:<\/p>\n

My solution was to substitute accented characters before filtering duplicates in the code. This way, similar records were rejected before they were sent to the database.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and<\/p>\n

As pointed out in the comments, a more robust and versatile solution would be to check the collation on the column.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure this will come in handy one day.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
