My knowledge of MySQL is pretty basic. It has also been suggested that I use INSERT IGNORE (...) VALUES (...) -- my primitive powers of deduction tell me that this would create a tiny bit less load on the database, so I assume that this is probably the best course of action, unless I'm making a mistake about the way MySQL processes data.
