I’m almost ashamed to say that it’s taken me over 5 years to come around to understanding the value of mnesia.<br class="">
<br class="">
I bought the “well-known” negatives too fast. I have explored relational connectors, DHT solutions and a number of other approaches...<br class="">
<br class="">

<br class="">
Did I mention "better"?<br class="">
<br class="">
Has anyone else had this experience?<br class="">
