[erlang-questions] Can we use same mnesia schema on different nodes

[ARUN P]

Hi Daniel

     Thank you for the valuable comment, but i have a doubt, since the 
dets operations are not transactional in the middle editing schema.DAT 
file, if my application gets restart, will it corrupt the schema.DAT 
file and if happens so how can i safe guard the data.?

Thanks in advance
Arun
