[erlang-questions] Issue in searching element in mnesia table

[Mikael Pettersson]

You want an index, but not mnesia's but a special-purpose one
maintained by yourself.  In this case, a mapping from these elements
(wxt193 etc) to the test_id:s of the test_info records containing said
elements.  Whenever you add, delete, or update a test_info record
you'll also have to perform the appropriate adjustments to your index
table.

But you should probably take a closer look at your requirements and
try to find another data model that better suits these operations
(finding a record from such an element), if they're frequent.
