You can't add a unique index to a column of the text type. You can only add the unique constraint to fields of a fixed length like varchar. As limiting the length of the URL is not a good idea, generating an MD5 sum is a great solution as it always has a fixed length and is unique.

Thanks for a great tutorial!
I was just wandering why you used a hash field to check for duplicates - why don't you just make the url field a unique key?

This is a great app. It was pretty easy to put together and easy to use once it was finished. Thanks for sharing.

It's not working for me. I have the correct db connection but the js script does nothing.

Is there any way that users can sign up for this and each user gets his/her own list of links?
Thanks in advance.
