[erlang-questions] ets:select_delete problem

[Magnus Klaar]

Hi!

There is nothing wrong with your match specifications, would it be possible
to provide information
on how and with which options the table was created? A table is protected
by default which means
that no process other than the one which created table can update the
table. Queries like ets:select
and ets:select_count are permitted.
