(def db (rel/transact db [:insert-ignore :Customer {:id 42, :name "bob", :age 33}}]))
;; =>
{:Customer #{{:id 42, :name "bob", :age 33}}}
;; with a conflict, the new row will be discarded.
(rel/transact db [:insert-ignore :Customer {:id 42, :name "alice"}])
;; =>
{:Customer #{{:id 42, :name "bob", :age 33}}}
