I think what he may want is:
create table test (id serial primary key, info text unique);
begin;
insert into test values (DEFAULT,'abc');
INSERT 1
insert into test values (22,'def');
INSERT 1
insert into test values (22,'def');
INSERT 0
commit;
In order to do this, you'll need triggers that fire on the unique / pk
before insertion, and if the values would be dups, to simply drop the
insert silently.
Can that be done, by the way?
