here are the corresponding functions in attached files


Function : prototype/2
%% Purpose : create One Empty record  of type Table, according to Schema

%%---------------------------------------
%%---------------------------------------
%% Function : info/2
%% Purpose : entity | relations for a Record
%% Arg: entity| relation, Record, grmSchema
%%---------------------------------------
grm_mnesia:field_value(Record,Field)->
%%---------------------------------------
  grm_mnesia:retrieve(Table,Key) when atom(Key)
%%---------------------------------------
 Function :grm_mnesia: retrieve/3
%% Purpose : retrieve the records referenced by a given record
%% Arg: Relation, Record | [Record], Schema

in the attached grm_mnesia, files, ull find the corresponding functions.

(still work in progress).
they suppose your database is defined in a grm schema like

schema()->
      [
    {entity,

[description,indexing,responsabilities,services,suppliers,states,invariant,component,precondition,postcondition,predicate,menu,commands,queries,dialog]},

 {relation,
    [{component,composition,states},
     {states,reference,description},
     {component,reference,description},
     {component,composition,commands},
     {component,composition,queries},
  %   {features,reference,description},
%     {features,composition,commands},
 %    {features,composition,queries},

with manipulation functions in grm_schema
supported_relationships()->
 [attribute,dependency,reference,composition].

also an example kit_schema, and the kit_lib in case of dependencies.


this is work in progress, and need a lot of restructuring ( a few things
are in grm_schema/mnesia now, but need some to be moved out.)

(GRM stands for generic relationship management, i believe, (kilov work
on formal semantics, an iso standard now. (kilov worked in RM_ODP may be
known by you, telecom guys. i can search links if interested)

i was surprised how little overhead  i found (maybe 10-20%, i was
expecting 100-200, compared to "compiled coded" records. (well , i dont
have soft real time requirement)
btw, there is a few utilitaries that create db schema, or records
headers based on the schema

%% Purpose : give the records definition (.hrl)
%% Arg: headers,Schema
%% Return : -record (tablename,[fieldsname]), string-ified.
%%---------------------------------------
info(headers,S)->

%%---------------------------------------
%% Function : info/2
%% Purpose : give the table definition (like mnesia:save_to_text would)
%% Arg: table,Schema
%% Return : {table, [{tablename,[fieldsname]}]}
%%---------------------------------------

info(tables,S)->



got some more things, if interested.
