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

[Hynek Vychodil]

No, qlc:info just returns info. You should use cursor and next_answers.

Just from documentation:

C = qlc:cursor(qlc:q([X || X <- qlc:append(QH1, QH2)],{unique,true})),
R = qlc:next_answers(C, 5),
ok = qlc:delete_cursor(C),
R.
