I want to provide a self-service user registration, with an email
verification thing. They submit their data, we email them a link to verify
that they control the email address they provided, bla bla, then the account
is enabled. So I thought I would go ahead and do the inserts, marking both
new records as 'inactive' pending email confirmation.
In some cases, though, there may already be a row in people corresponding to
the new user.
In this case would it make sense to let the user know that there is
already an account and just offer to re-send the verification or
password reset email (depending on the status of the account)?
Of course that would assume that the account hasn't been disabled for
some reason, in which case if you have a hard unique constraint on the
email you're going to have to reactivate the account rather than being
able to create a "new" account for the user and leave the old account as
deactivated.
