second time, the database should throw an error. That error can then
be trapped by CF and dealt with accordingly. This method will have
alot less overhead then querying every table to intend to insert on.

Enforce this in your database, not cf.

Personally, I'd do both... ALWAYS make sure your not getting dupe
entries... and cflocate to a different page once the query has ran its
course.
Cflocate keeps them from just hitting refresh
THe query check will keep them from going BACK and hitting submit
again (if the page doesnt expire)

I would go with the checking to see if a record already exists with
the same info .. you should only need to check 1 to a few columns for
verification. If a record exists, just skip over the insert.
