phpMyAdmin error #1062 - Duplicate entry '1' for key 1

Question

I am not sure why I am getting this error #1062 - Duplicate entry '1' for key 1 cany any one help explain what it means. Thanks

Answer 1

More than likely your column is set to be Unique, and you're trying to input a row with an ID that already exists in your table.

Answer 2

You are probably trying to insert a record with the ID (or some other field) 1 set, while such a record already exists in the table. The field that is the primary key must have a unique value for each record.
