Model create() two times like this:
$model->create(array('name' => 'Han', 'year' => '1989')); $model->create(array('name' => 'Zhang', 'year' => '1996'));
It occurred an error:"Record cannot be created because it already exists"
May be your tables has unique key. Check this.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mytable (
id int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(70) NOT NULL,
year int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
You can attach a logger to the database connections to see what SQL statements are being executed by the ORM: https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/db.html#logging-sql-statements
Use $connection->insert()
