[erlang-questions] Modifying all entries in a mnesia table

[Evans, Matthew]

Have a look at mnesia:transform_table/4

For example:

mnesia:transform_table(counter_table,
				fun(Rec) -> Rec#counter_table{counter = 0} end,
				record_info(counter_table), 
				counter_table).

Subject: [erlang-questions] Modifying all entries in a mnesia table

Hello

I have a mnesia table for a quota system. Quotas are specified as daily
values, so the counters should be reset to 0 every 24h. Is there
anything more efficient than traversing the table with
mnesia:{first/1,next/2} and issuing a write for each record?

Thanks
Andre
