an ON INSERT trigger usually happens at the moment you're about to insert a 
new record. This will make inserting the same row over and over just an 
update to the row, instead of an insertion of the new one.
With that in place, you can skip your own validation and just insert the 
whole file, the database will take care of updating an existing or 
inserting a new one.
Now, every serious database has it, but as far as I recall in Mysql is not 
possible. However, mysql has "UPSERT" . You can read about it on the 
manuals, and evaluate all pros and cons.
