[erlang-questions] Mnesia record with composite key and QLC questions

[Leon de Rooij]

Thanks everyone for the helpful insight. I've already tried putting  
100k users in mnesia (still with the compound primary key) which took  
a few minutes (disc_copy) with no extra indexes but the primary key,  
but searching it is blazingly fast, even with relatively complex  
queries..

I really like the zero data impendance and the way functions are used  
in qlc:q, I can imagine things like storing IP adresses as binary in  
the db and then have a function to query all records that fall within  
a given subnet (I tried this once in SQL, and it didn't turn out very  
nice..) Or use the re module in queries.. So very cool :-)

Kind regards,

Leon
