Thanks for the info. However, the ets:update_counter function allows me 
to specify a position which needs to be updated with an increment. The 
mnesia:update_counter function does not seem to have this facility.

Is there any way I can specify the position to update ? What is my_table
has two integer fields, and I want to update different fields in 
different situations ?
