insert into Favorite (patronId, titleId) select 123, 234 where not exists ( select 1 from Favorite where patronId = 123 and titleId = 234 )
It normally runs perfectly, but will rarely fail and I just can't see any way that it could. :-|
The exception I get is that the unique key (patronid+titleid) was violated.
Is it possible that the statement is getting run twice and that the timing is such that the first one succeeds and the second tries to do the insert and fails because the select part of the SQL ran before the first insert completed? I'd expected that each of the two would be single operations, but this error is making me rethink that.
