Thanks Mike! I followed up on your suggestion concerning savepoints and came up with the following code snippet. Does this look right to you?
``` try: with orm_session.begin_nested(): orm_session.add(record) except psycopg2.errors.UniqueViolation as error: # or is it `sqlalchemy.exc.IntegrityError`??? # Matching metadata row already inserted by someone else # Fetch and return existing record # We inserted it! return record ``` -- SQLAlchemy - The Python SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ To post example code, please provide an MCVE: Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable Example.
