[erlang-questions] Mnesia Fragmented tables..... feature or bug?

[Eranga Udesh]

Hi,

 

In a Fragmented Table, when I ran select/4, I get {Objects, Cont}. According
to the returned result, it looks to me that select only runs in the First
Table Fragment, even though the result count is less than the NObjects value
specified. However, if I iterate select/1 in the Cont returned until
'$end_of_table', I can get all the other results. I suppose select/4 should
do the iteration in all the Table Fragment, until the returned record count
becomes > NObjects. Is this a bug or feature in Mnesia Frag Access Module?

 

As an example, pls check the code snippet attached. To run it,

            Start Erlang:

            erl -sname test -mnesia dir "/tmp/mnesia_test'" -setcookie
mnesia_test

 

            Initialize Db:

            mnesia_test:init().

 

            Add some records to the Db:

            mnesia_test:save_retry(123456, 1000, 1, 1).

            mnesia_test:save_retry(124456, 1300, 2, 1).

            mnesia_test:save_retry(223456, 1040, 1, 14).

            mnesia_test:save_retry(123156, 1400, 1, 11).

 

            Dump all the Db Records:

            mnesia_test:read_all_retry().

 

            Do a select/3

            mnesia_test:read_retry_by_time1(1500).

 

            Do a single select/4

            mnesia_test:read_retry_by_time2(1500).

 

            Do a select/4 followed by subsequent calls to select/1 until
'$end_of_table'

            mnesia_test:read_retry_by_time3(1500).

 

Please advice.

 

Thanks,
