try:
db.test.insert(...)
except IntegrityError:
[return friendly error message]
Of course, if the inserts are done via form submission, you should instead
add an IS_NOT_IN_DB validator, in which case, it will automatically check
for duplicates and return the appropriate error message. Even if not using
a form, you can make use of the validator by using the
.validate_and_insert() method.
