Insert string (insert without duplicates???)

I have an update string getting a list of names that are list1 but not
in list2. (Sorry for the lame example)

list1
----
Bill
Bill
mike
tom
jim
jim
jim
list2(before insert)
----
Bill
mike

list2 (after insert)
----
bill
mike
tom
jim
jim

Currently, I will get duplicates from my insert. Is there something
that I can use not to get duplicates.

thanks

SELECT DISTINCT tableX.FieldA.. ..

The meaning of REPLACE INTO is clear to me. IF the new record presents new key values, then it is inserted as a new record. IF the new record has key values that match a pre-existing record, then the key violation is ignored and the new record *replaces* the pre-existing record. But what about INSERT IGNORE? Is this a synonym for REPLACE INTO - i.e. it does precisely the same thing?

I have created a SQL string the properly inserts a record in the table. However, the insert does not occur at the end of the table. Instead it inserts a record after the last record that I viewed. This would be OK, except it assigns a autonumber to be one greater than the last viewed record. This causes a duplicate autonumber. I know I can change the autonumber index (Primary Key) to not allow duplicates. How can I force the insert...

I seem to have a few duplicates entries in a very large database. My database has two identical tables. One is written to on a regular basis (every few seconds) and the other is used for queries, and updated from the write table on a daily basis. I'm trying to get rid of duplicate entries for the queries, and I thought the most effective way to do this would be to run the query as INSERT INTO readtable (SELECT * FROM writetable GROUP...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
