Ok, so it is EXACTLY the same data that might be inserted twice?

- Make a UNIQUE index for the relevant column(s) that uniquely identify a
record.
- Use "INSERT IGNORE ...."

This way you will have no duplicates and no inserts will fail (MySQL will
simply ignore duplicate entries)

Hope this helps a bit.
