  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the system is trying to create a record with a key that already exists in the database. This could happen if:
  
  The data being imported or entered is not unique.
  There is a programming error in the code that handles record creation.
  A previous transaction was not completed properly, leaving a record in an inconsistent state.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be duplicates that were not handled correctly.
  
  
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple users or processes are trying to create the same record simultaneously, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Existing Records: Before attempting to create a new record, check the database to see if a record with the same key already exists. You can do this by querying the relevant table.
  
  
  Modify Input Data: Ensure that the data being entered is unique. If duplicates are found, you may need to modify the input data to avoid conflicts.
