<br>The "normal" usage of mnesia:transform_table/4 is to give a fun as<br>argument. The fun will then be used by Mnesia to perform the actual<br>transformation of each record within a transaction.<br><br>But you do also have the option to use 'ignore' instead of a fun.<br>
Then the mnesia:transform_table/4 function will only perform the<br>schema transformation, leaving all records in the table in the old<br>format. When the mnesia:transform_table/4 function returns, the table<br>lock is released and you can iterate over the table yourself in order<br>
to perform the transformation of each record.</blockquote>

<div><a href="http://OK.Thanks.In">OK.Thanks.In</a> this way,I should program in if-else way to determine whether current record is in old format or in new transformed format while transforming. After the transform is done,I also shoulddelete the if-else code to read the all records in new format .</div>
