While it would be duplication, you could consider putting the unique controlling properties into an additional column - therefore probably not causing harm to existing components...

Refactor your table and move the unique stuff to an extra table and enforce the DB-level uniqueness there?

Hmm... can be done of course, but at the first look it seems to me a bit on the complex side: to re-factor the database and to write the Java glue to make two different attributes look like just one with two different kinds of values and so forth just to make one save-and-test atomical? Moreover, I am not designing: the application already runs; making some values in one column--which already exists--unique is a change request.

Anyway thanks a lot: I haven't considered this possibility. Perhaps it will prove to be the best one.
