My example does not compare field1 and field2 for uniqueness against each other, it compares field1 and field2 against the database. When creating a new record, it will check that the combination of field1+field2 doesn't already exist in the database. When updating a record it will check that the combination of field1+field2 doesn't exist in the database unless the primary key of the submitted data matches the primary key of the record in the database.
