Is there any way to define a column in MySql 4 that is to be unique from
this point forward.  Meaning, there are indeed dupes in the column now,
those are ok, there is really no repairing that damage as the data was
inherited from somewhere else.  I am constantly having to select the column
to see if there is a dupe entry in it before inserting, I would like to stop
having to do this and define the column as unique from this point forward.
However, in trying this, MySql will not allow me to make it unique until I
remove all the duplicates.
