There are too few information to give a satisfying answer. Especially
the context (i.e. the query in question) is missing.
The error message states, that you somehow created a situation where
you ask MySQL to insert a second record with the value 'tim' into a
column with unique constraint (i.e. a unique index), which already has
a record with 'tim' as value for this column.
Some (but not all!) possible reasons:
- you are trying to create a unique index on a column which is not
unique
- you are changing the character set and in the new character set two
characters are considered equal (regarding sorting), which they
where not before (rather not in your case)
- you are just trying to INSERT or UPDATE a record and there is
already another record with value 'tim'.
Bye,
Benjamin.
