how does one insert records from one table to another that has a unique index in the destination table without going through the insert and then removal of duplicates by deleting the index?
INSERT INTO forms(url,feedUrl, dateadded)
SELECT url, feedurl, dateadded
FROM Book3 T2
where not exists(select * from forms T1 where T1.url = T2.url;
T2.feedurl = T1.feedUrl and T2.dateadded =T1.dateadded)
Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_forms'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.forms'.
Table forms
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[forms](
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[url] [varchar](450) NULL,
[feedUrl] [varchar](450) NULL,
[dateadded] [datetime] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_forms] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
Table book3
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Book3](
[url] [varchar](450) NULL,
[feedurl] [varchar](450) NULL,
[dateadded] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
