I would create several functions:
function RegisteProvider(providername)
check with a SELECT statement to see if the provider exists
if it does, return the provider ID
insert a new provider
return new provider's ID
function RecordLinkInfo(providername, linkname, linkurl)
check with a SELECT statement to see if linkurl is inuse
if it is, bail
providerId = RegisterProvider(providername)
insert new row with provider ID, link name, link url
Remember to use transactions to significantly boost your insert
performance Maybe one transaction per page?
