How do something like this in Ignition?  
How do you handle MySQL related errors, like duplicate entries?

[code]import mysql.connector

try:  
cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user=‘scott’, database=‘employees’)  
cursor = cnx.cursor()  
cursor.execute(“SELECT \* FORM employees”) # Syntax error in query  
cnx.close()  
except mysql.connector.Error as err:  
print(“Something went wrong: {}”.format(err))[/code]
