That is going to leave you with a race condition. The only certain way to prevent the creation of duplicates is to put an unique constraint on the database. Then you have to catch the database exception (EOGeneralAdaptorException) in your code and handle appropriately. The ugly part is that the exception message returned is different for each database which makes doing this in a database agnostic way slightly challenging.
