See if field exists?
I know that its just as easy to really easy to just add another SQL: query to check is a certain entry within a table exists, but I was hoping to see if there was a way to see if an entry exists in a specific column when adding something. I.e something you can add to the query, that will stop the addition of it is an identical entry exists.

Could just be wishful thinking here...cois I couldn't find anything about it on mysql.com or other SQL sites Frown
