If you want to have at most one vote per user on any entry, IMO you
should have a "unique index" on that combination of fields.
Aside:
Assuming you "*Id" values are numeric types, you should stop using
quotes around them: quotes enclose strings.
I know MySQL implicitly converts numbers to strings and vice versa, but
this costs performance and IMO is a bad idea anyways.
I feel a programmer should know the distinction of numeric and string
types and keep them separate in a well-structured application.
