[erlang-questions] Question: Limiting size of result set in mnesia

[Ahmed Ali]

Thanks Hynek and Kenneth for the quick response.

Just to confirm, for qlc, I should write the query first and then run
qlc:info/2 on it in order to do the limiting, as the example below
shows. Is this it?

e.g.:
Q = qlc:q(...),
qlc:info(Q, [{n_elements, 5}]

Best regards,

Ahmed Al-Issaei
