Thread: user account uniqueness

user account uniqueness

From

I have a site I'm building that can have the following types of users:

    Those that have email accounts
    Those that don't.

I collect address information, phone numbers, full names, (all normalized at this point)

    I can't collect:

        credit card info
        driver's license numbers
        blood type :-)

How can I assure uniqueness and non duplication of users if I keep all the users in the same table?
