mnesia_frag ????

[Rikard Johansson]

As Ulf says, you should use mnesia:read within the ReadFun,

ReadFun = fun(Db,DBKey) ->  mnesia:read({Db, DBKey}) end.

However, if you want "dirty access" you can use the 'sync_dirty' 
AccessContext.

mnesia:activity(sync_dirty, ReadFun, [profile_db,777], mnesia_frag).
