Hi,

​Try this code it will be work and it is bulkified  
trigger duplicateAccName on Account (before insert,before update)
{
Map<string,Account> accMap = new Map<string,Account>();
set<string> accSet = new set<string>();
    for(Account acc : Trigger.new)
        accSet.add(acc.name);
    for(Account a : [select id,name from Account where name in : accSet])
        accMap.put(a.name,a);
    for(Account acc1 : trigger.new)
        {
        if(accMap.containskey(acc1.name))
        acc1.addError('Account name Already Exist!!');
        }

Hi k sfdc,

I have Updated Vijay's code for different error messages for Insert and Update. 
trigger duplicateAccName on Account (before insert,before update)
{
Map<string,Account> accMap = new Map<string,Account>();
set<string> accSet = new set<string>();
    for(Account acc : Trigger.new)
        accSet.add(acc.name);
    for(Account a : [select id,name from Account where name in : accSet])
        accMap.put(a.name,a);
    for(Account acc1 : trigger.new)
        {
        if(accMap.containskey(acc1.name))
           if(Trigger.isInsert){
             acc1.addError('Account name Already Exist For Insert!');
           }
           else if(Trigger.isUpdate){
             acc1.addError('Account name Already Exist For Update!!'); 
           }
        }
}
Best Regards,
Mithun.

Hi @MithunP Thank you for the amazing code. But while deploying it into the production from the sandbox (via change set) I got code coverage error. I am new to the developer side. Please help me to overcome this error.
