Karen,

Thanks for the thorough explanation. I really appreciate it. What I
took from it is that if I'm using a ModelForm, Django should return a
validation error for a duplicate value. However, for my scenario, I
*am* using a ModelForm. Here's a snippet:

### Model ###
class School(models.Model):
    url = models.SlugField(max_length=50, unique=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    ...


### Form ###
class SchoolForm(ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = School
        fields = ('url', 'name')

### View ###
def new_school(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SchoolForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()

new_school craps out with an IntegrityError exception any time I have
a duplicate value. Any additional thoughts?
