dets improvements?

[Yariv Sadan]

I just discovered the Erlang MySQL library from Process One:
http://support.process-one.net/doc/display/CONTRIBS/Yxa/. This bodes
well as I can store large volumes of data in MySQL and still get the
performance and scalability of Yaws. Still... it would be nice if
Mnesia were a better fit for my needs because, well, it's more Erlangy
:)
