I'd like to use this opportunity again to point to the SQLite
construct ON CONFLICT:

http://www.sqlite.org/lang_conflict.html

and again I'd like to suggest drizzle implements this with an
additional option ON CONFLICT LOG TO.

It would preserve all of the original IGNORE functionality but allow
people that want more to exert better contol.

kind regards,

Roland
