I have yet to take a look but how is this different from creating new  
table types?

Would I be able to use regular Mnesia table types after applying the  
patches?

The issue is that the backend is the same for all Mnesia nodes so all  
Mnesia nodes in my case have the same table. Following the regular  
Mnesia approach of committing on all non-ram  nodes I would be  
committing the same data multiple times to the same backend.

	Thanks, Joel
