Actually, it happens all of the time. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now, it is pretty pointless to give each entry a unique name or unique nickname, since it is simply two people with more than one email address each. The unique database column should not be tied directly to the name and email address data, but should instead be tied to something like an index number or "Home, Work, School, Other" for each contact, so repeated contacts can have multiple different email addresses with the same first and last names and no nicknames/etc. -Ryan On 1/3/2006, "Ondra Kudlik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Út, led 03, 2006 ve 01:19:37 +0100, Martin Waschbüsch napsal: >> Hi Karsten, >> >> >I see, I did not expressed me well enough: >> > >> >I mean if one user really knows two persons with an identical name. >> >I have to admin that the chances that this happens are pretty small, but >> >the >> >may occour and than the user is badly off. >> > >> >To correct my idea a bit: not 'id', 'owner' and 'name' but only 'id' and >> >'email' as a unique set? >> > >> >I hope it's clear now where I want to point at? > >Yeah, it is clear, but as Martin said, problem is somewhere else. > >There are columns name, firstname and surename, so yes, there can be >more users with same firstname or surename, but there shouldn't be >users with same name.
