It's for queue management, so we (intend) for the rows to get dropped if
the PKID conflicts.
The logic is actually INSERT IGNORE INTO ... unless database does not have
INSERT IGNORE, in which case use REPLACE INTO. Which could be much slower.
I like the idea of ON CONFLICT ... all we really need is ON CONFLICT DROP
or IGNORE, and don't really need ON CONFLICT MUNGE_MY_DATA.
It's along the same idea of how you do "ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE" in
SQLite. ON CONFLICT blah blah blah.

Do you use the ignore to dump rows? Or do you just want to muddle through the

The slippery sloap is allowing null on not null columns. I would like to
avoid that, most everything else I am game for.
Personally I use IGNORE to handle loads where I have a primary key and I just
want duplicate data dropped.

Are you a huge fan of the IGNORE keyword?

I personally (and my company) use the crap out of it. Along with LOAD DATA
INFILE that was previously discussed. If one or the other goes away, do we
have alternatives?
Think I've used INSERT IGNORE INTO ... SELECT FROM ... a bunch to collapse
data. There isn't really a way to handle bailouts in the middle, nor is it
always reasonable to adjust all of the data first. ie; You want the
constraint on one table but not another, for different views of the data.
We could potentially get by without using INSERT IGNORE in mogilefs by
handling and ignoring the errors... but bulk requeue attempts would bail
out in the middle, so we'd have to only do one at a time, which is slow.
