SQL Insert statement not working - RDS

Question

I am running a mysql database on an RDS instance.

My table schema is:

Table: users, Columns:

_id - int(11) AI PK
username - varchar(50) UNIQUE
email - varchar(100) UNIQUE

Im then using the following SQL statement to attempt to enter a new record

INSERT INTO usrdb.users (username, email)
VALUES ("admin", "[email protected]")

This statement just times out (30 seconds) repeatedly.

I know from experience that a simple insert statement shouldn't take anywhere near this length of time.

`INSERT INTO usrdb.users (username, email) VALUES ('admin', '[email protected]')` — Lukasz Szozda, Aug 09 '17 at 11:00
Unbelievable. I could have sworn I was doing this before and switched just to check. Thanks — mwild, Aug 09 '17 at 11:05

This query example should work :

 INSERT INTO `table`(`col1`, `col2`) VALUES ('varchar','varchar')

Check if there is a duplicate Exception raised.
