Mnesia - tables ???

[vipin]

Hello all !!!

I've created five database tables, it works fine as long as 'Erlang 
node' (where database is running) is up. When it goes down or i do quit
from the node and again restart the database server on the same node 
then i've lost all the data in the tables. What should i do to make
it persistent ?

when i execute mnesia:info() i found that my all tables are lying in RAM 
(as shown below).  If the problem is wandering around here,
then please tell me how to move these ram_copies to disc_copies ?
(I'm using Erlang-R10B-6.)
