Will HEM+OM automatically deal with duplicate hands?

I bought hand histories from pokertableratings that might be overlapping in dates. I also might buy hand histories from another site, and those might have some hands that are the same as the PTR data as well. Not sure if HEM can deal with this.

HoldemManager will simply skip the import of all duplicate hands.
(it will only look at the hand ID#. If the hand already exists, it will skip the hand)
This way it's impossible for hands to show up as duplicates in your database.


Note: this means if you have a hand where the holecards of a player are unknown..... and you try to reimport a handhistory of the same hand where the holecards are known... it will NOT update the hand, adding this new information to your database.
