Is there way in MySQL to have two unique keys and connect them somehow?
for example if i have the following table and 'title'and 'store' are a unique keys
id | category | title | price | store
1 | outdoors | fishing rod | 59.99 | wal-mart
2 | auto | Penzoil Oil | 9.99 | target
and i try to insert the following record. This new record would be ignored because the title is "fishing rod" AND the store is 'wal-mart' and there is an existing record with that title and store
| outdoors | fishing rod | 30.99 | wal-mart
but if i attempted to insert the following record it would be accepted because there isn't a record that exists with the title of "fishing rod" and store of "target"
| outdoors | fishing rod | 30.99 | target
is this possible with just MySQL?

You can define an index on multiple columns, e.g.:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX arbitrary_index_name ON table_name (title, store);
