v4 error on insert with duplicate entries

It appears to me that MySQL version 4 returns an error messge when doing an
Insert that results in duplicate entries. Version 3 did NOT return an
error - it dropped the duplicate entries and ran to completion. Version 4
seems to STOP when it encounters a duplicate entry, so that the records
before the duplicate are inserted and the records after the duplicate are
not inserted.

3.22.27.1 - previous ver MySQL that did not return error
4.0.16.0 - current ver MySQL that returns error.
Running on Red Hat Linux 7.3

Is there a way to change this behavior to the way it was handled in version
3? Are there configuration settings on MySQL that control this?

I found the answer.

"Prior to MySQL 4.0.1, INSERT . . . SELECT implicitly operates in IGNORE
mode. As of MySQL 4.0.1, you should specify IGNORE explicitly to ignore
records that would cause duplicate-key violations."

Is there an elegant way to check for the REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY VIOLATION in Access via ASP. The reason I ask is that if the user attempts to refresh the screen after implementing an INSERT he will be trying to insert an identical record which thows up the following error (below). I could place On error resume next before but I find this dangerous or am I overworrying. I could preface the insert by doing a check for the record but this...

I have an application with MS Access 2000 as the front end and MySQL as the back end. All was well until I upgraded the MySQL (Linux) server. The Problem: I insert data into a cumulative table.

Now, I get a MyODBC error and the application stops when trying to add...

Hi Shortly, I keep invoices in a table. Occasionally, someone will fire the execution of a stored procedure (SP) that performs several UPDATEs against (potentially) all invoices OLDER than a date that is supplied to the SP as a parameter. The SP is usually a lengthy process (it takes at least 30 mins). The problem is that SQL server 2000 Dev Edition doesn't allow me to insert new invoices that are "younger", while the SP is executing....

What's best practise in this situation: Upon submitting data input on a detailsview (bound to an objectdatasource), I need to check for a duplicate email address (in an sql database) and present the error message (if the email already exists) on the detailsview. The data is strored in the sql table via a stored procedure which returns a negative number without adding the record, in case of duplicate entries. The question is:
