I'm trying to build a log-in feature for my site. At the moment, users
can log in and create accounts.

The way I've got it set up is that the users table has the "username"
column as the primary key to make sure that a username remains unique.

However, when users are registering, how do I return a message that
says "That user name is already taken"? Right now it just stops
processing and prints "Duplicate key". Most people are going to be
confused by that.

Any ideas? Or am I doing this completely wrong?
