Thank you for your suggestion.

I realise I probably did not explain fully enough my goal.
Let's say I have 10 columns in my table (excluding the PK).
I only want to store a data row into the table if the combination of all 10 values is a unique combination set.

Example with a 3 column table:

INSERT Row 1: A,A,A  <== OK! Value set unique
INSERT Row 2: A,D,A  <== OK! Value set unique
INSERT Row 3: D,T,G  <== OK! Value set unique
INSERT Row 4: D,A,A  <== OK! Value set unique
INSERT Row 5: A,D,A  <== COLLISION with Row 2! Set not unique; skip IN

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
