There is such a code
public boolean addVisitor (Visitor visitor){ boolean isAdded = false; try (PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement ("INSERT INTO visitors (address,rm_host,rm_port,method,user_agent) values (?,?,?,?,?)")){ statement.setString(1,visitor.getRemoteAddress()); statement.setString(2,visitor.getRemoteHost()); statement.setString(3,visitor.getRemotePort()); statement.setString(4,visitor.getRequestMethod()); statement.setString(5,visitor.getUserAgent()); statement.execute(); if(statement.getWarnings()==null) isAdded =true; } catch (SQLException e){ e.printStackTrace(); } return isAdded; } He is trying to add a record to the database, if the record in the database already exists, then there will be an exception in the statement that the record exists and the value is not added. In the tomketa log com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Duplicate entry '127.0.0.1' for key 'address_UNIQUE' How correctly did I implement the way to add unique entries to the database? All this can be implemented on java by creating a sheet, adding and checking the presence of records in it, and then entering them into the database.
