Using erl R10B-8 (5.4.10), I have a table defined by:

    mnesia:create_table(target,
                        [{attributes, record_info(fields, target)},
                         {disc_copies, [node()]},
			 {type, set}])
where target is:

-record(target, {id,		% string
            	name,		% string
		actions}).	% List if action id

I have a function:

targetMgr:findTarget/1:

findTarget(TargetName) ->
	F = fun() ->
                Q = qlc:q([Target || Target <- mnesia:table(target),
                                              Target#target.name == TargetName]),
                qlc:e(Q)
        end,
    mnesia:transaction(F).

In an erlang shell, a call of targetMgr:findTarget("hello") yields an error:

17> targetMgr:findTarget("hello").
{aborted,{function_clause,[{targetMgr,'-findTarget/1-lc$^0/1-0-',
                                      [{qlc_handle,
                                           {qlc_table,
                                               #Fun<mnesia.16.73285684>,
                                               true,
                                               #Fun<mnesia.17.24889472>,
                                               #Fun<mnesia.18.119385189>,
                                               #Fun<mnesia.19.123232999>,
                                               #Fun<mnesia.22.105141785>,
                                               #Fun<mnesia.21.51189828>,
                                               #Fun<mnesia.20.62027733>,
                                               undefined,
                                               undefined,
                                               no_match_spec}},
                                       "hello"]},
                           {targetMgr,'-findTarget/1-fun-0-',1},
                           {mnesia_tm,apply_fun,3},
                           {mnesia_tm,execute_transaction,5},
                           {erl_eval,do_apply,5},
                           {shell,exprs,6},
                           {shell,eval_loop,3}]}}


If I rewrite this call as:

findTarget(TargetName) ->
     Target = #target{name = TargetName, _ = '_'},
     F = fun() -> mnesia:match_object(Target) end,
     mnesia:transaction(F).

It works...

what's up with qlc??

thanks, ke han
