OK, I should have amended the above paragraphs to read:

In R8B ets you can specify the number of rows which are
returned from a match or select call so you could do a match on
each record type in turn with ets:match(Tab, Pattern, Max_rows)
where Max_rows is set to 1.

Unfortunately mnesia doesn't support this addition to ets but I
dare say that might follow sometime. Meanwhile you can do these ets
operations directly on local mnesia tables so long as you don't
want any transaction safety.

Apologies for the lack of clarity
