Overview
This error means the table already contains a row with the same primary key, or the SQL file itself has duplicate rows.
Step-by-Step Instructions
<ol><li>First cause: you are importing the SQL file for the second time and the tables are already filled.</li><li>Check the table and delete the already-existing row, then re-import.</li><li>Second cause: the SQL file itself contains duplicate INSERT rows.</li><li>Remove the duplicates or ask the creator of the SQL file to correct it.</li></ol>
Info
Because the PRIMARY key is a name (not an auto-incrementing number), importing the same data twice always triggers this error.
