Since id is AUTO_INCREMENT, do not do it that way. Instead do either of these:
INSERT INTO TableName (id, created) VALUES (NULL,'2013-08-14 17:30:00');
INSERT INTO TableName (created) VALUES ('2013-08-14 17:30:00');
Either will create the 'next' id, and you will have no dups, regardless of the indexes you have.

True. This is one mistake that MySQL, with PARTITIONs, will not catch. I consider it only a minor drawback of PARTITIONs.
