Has anyone here learned much about Erlang's "mnesia" database, or considered whether (and how) it would be feasible to use it from AOLserver?
http://www.erlang.org/doc/r9c/lib/mnesia-4.1.4/doc/html/mnesia.html AOLserver's nsv API is great, but I've occasionally found the plain old key/value pairs of an associative arrays limiting, and really wished I had an in-memory relational database available. So I'm wondering if Mnesia would fit that bill.. Reportedly, Mnesia's features include: object-relational, in-memory or on disk, soft real-time, distributed. It says it supports atomic transactions and concurrency, but I haven't found any particularly good explanation of how it is similar/different to other relational databases - what locking model it uses, whether it supports referential integrity, etc. Comments? -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
