model example

class Example(Stat):
    numeric = models.IntegerField(...) 
    date = models.DateField( auto_now_add=True,...) #auto_now_add=True was the problem

    class Meta:
       unique_together = ('numeric','date')

)

If 72 and '2011-08-07' is already stored

Example.object.get_or_create(numeric=72,date='2011-08-07')

raises 

django.db.utils.IntegrityError: (1062, "Duplicate entry '72-2011-08-07'

the question is why get_or_create raises the IntegrityError, thats the idea of using get_or_create.

Not sure if this is a bug, I opened a ticket https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16587

Make sure your autoincrement counter is not the reason of this error.
