[erlang-questions] Troubles Bridging SNMP and Mnesia

[Serge Aleynikov]

The value types in mnesia tables with snmp support must correspond to 
the SNMP mib spec.  As such no tuples are allowed (except for the 
compound key column) when you use default instrumentation functions.

So date(), time(), {node(), process} types must be replaced with 
integer() and string() types.
